Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I also represent a Quebec riding.
My questions will also focus on immigrant integration, as I think that there is no greater challenge for the country.
In Quebec we face major issues as well around integration. In Gatineau we have a wonderful organization called the SITO, which works on integration, and it's become a model. We have discussed increasing immigration levels, and we know that investments are required in terms of integrating new arrivals to Canada, whatever the category. Quebec has, however, committed to essentially a steady state, which would increase the rest of Canada's relative share, were we to embark on a major increase in immigration to Canada.
My first question—and you may wish to address this question as well—is whether you think we have the capacity in the country, through organizations such as the one you represent, even if the money were available, to increase and intensify these integration efforts.
