Thank you, Mr. Chair. Allow me to make a brief comment on the universal public drug plan.
The Quebec plan has advantages, but also disadvantages. Among other things, part-time employees who have supplemental insurance often see 25% to 40% of their salary sent back to pay for this famous supplemental insurance. What's more, the costs of this are rising every year due to rising drug prices.
According to the most recent Hoskins report, the best way to reduce drug costs is to have this kind of plan, and it must be done in collaboration with the provinces. Such a plan will benefit not only workers, but also employers and the hospital system in general, because everyone will save money.
Mr. Milliard, you spoke earlier about the delays in bringing in talent from elsewhere. There are major problems linked to these delays in immigration at the moment. In the riding I represent, Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, there are just SMEs. There are no big companies. In particular, there are video game companies, including Moment Factory, and artificial intelligence companies.
You said there were more resources in the Maghreb offices. Why target these offices in particular?
