Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you to all for coming today. I would like to start with Ms. Dench.
I know that the CCR is active throughout Canada. You probably know how the immigrant selection system works in Quebec.
When the minister appeared before the Standing Committee on Finance to answer questions on immigration, she assured us that this bill would have no impact on the selection process of Quebec. As you know, this province selects its own immigrants and submits their names to the federal government. Is this your understanding?
However, applications for family reunification and on humanitarian and compassionate grounds are outside the control of the Quebec government. This means that the amendments in the bill would have some impact on immigration to Quebec.
My question is directed to Ms. Dench unless other witnesses wish to answer also.
