Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Minister, someone commented earlier on the quality of your French. Personally, I congratulate you on your French. The first time we met, you couldn't speak French at all, but now you can respond to questions in French. I congratulate all anglophones in Canada who are making an effort to learn French.

I also congratulate you on your success in meeting the francophone immigration target outside Quebec.

Tell me how Quebec is different. What role does the province play in selecting who gets to settle within its borders?
