Very well.
When the minister appeared before the Standing Committee on Finance, she assured us that the legislation would have no impact on Quebec's immigrant selection process, that the province would be able to continue to select its immigrants and that there was no risk of seeing the province's government's will obstructed.
Witnesses who preceded you told us the opposite. Since the crack is wide open, nothing would prevent the minister from issuing instructions restricting the processing of applications in Quebec. In your opinion, who is right? The question is for anyone of you. If this bill is adopted, could it eventually grant authority to the minister to process Quebec's applications, the way it would deal with those under any provincial nominee program?
