There are two parts to your question.
In fact, unlike the other provinces with the Provincial Nominee Program, Quebec has a system with a good level of due diligence. I think that Quebec is doing an excellent job of selecting candidates. There are specialized business people, there are offices, namely in Hong Kong and Damascus where there are essentially business people. They travel around the world for interviews, and they are specialists. It is a good selection process, and I think that this is why, ultimately, the refusal rate for Quebec, once the permanent residence visa is issued, is currently around 3%. I think that Quebec ensures good due diligence, unlike the other provinces for which the refusal rates are much higher.
Now in terms of security, you understand that Quebec's hands are tied to some extent. It does not have the security tools needed, whereas the federal government has the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the RCMP, etc.
However, there could be better communication, by mutual agreement—this already exists, Quebec is already communicating better with federal officials abroad—to exchange information in the files and so on, to ensure that there is no duplication of effort. We talked about the medical exam and the security check. However, often, at the federal level, although the source of the $800,000 has already been verified by Quebec, the thinking is that this is a security issue as well. That is why there is sometimes duplication.
I think that we, in Quebec, need to have the appropriate discussions with our federal government counterparts to demonstrate that the work has been done. This depends on the mission. We see that, in some missions, the wait times are much longer and there are many more applications. We need to speak up and say that there is a problem at a given mission and that changes need to be made.
