Thank you, Madam Chair.
Minister Diab, we agree that Quebec selects a large proportion of immigrants. However, it is the college of physicians that decides who has the right to practise medicine. The federal government decides on its immigration targets for each category, and it has the power to do all the necessary checks in order to issue temporary work permits. When I talk about the complexity of the department, that's what I mean.
Is Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada working with Quebec to attract health professionals to rural areas? This follows up on what Mr. Powlowski said earlier about the needs in rural areas.
