Good morning, minister.
Good morning, advisors.
First of all, I'm going to ask you again a question that I put to you in the House when Parliament first resumed.
You watched the program Enquête, which revealed a scheme employed by Quebec consultants to enable thousands of people to circumvent the rules to obtain citizenship. Now that your department is aware of these practices and you've admitted you are as well, minister, I would like to know whether those practices are widespread elsewhere than in Quebec. I'd also like to know what measures will be taken to punish the offenders or to correct these deficiencies.
Don't you think that, if Quebec was in charge of immigration, it would be possible to provide more of a framework for the occupation of consultant so as to prevent unscrupulous people from giving individuals who retain their services incorrect advice that might place them in utterly illegal situations?
