My answer will be twofold, if I may, Mr. Coderre.
The Quebec program is not necessarily easier. That may be the case if we calculate it in months. But unlike the federal program, when Quebec makes its choice, the client has to make their $400,000 investment. Whether it is eight months later or 10 months later, they then have to make the commitment by making their investment. It is the opposite for the federal program: they make their investment at the end of the process. So they can play with their funds while they're waiting.
That is one of our problems, certainly, because you have to go at it with the clientele. You understand that the leading market for immigrant investors, by far, is China. The second market is Iran. After that there is a gamut of countries, and it can change from year to year. Naturally, for the clientele from Asia, the first port of entry to Canada is often Vancouver airport. Unfortunately for Quebec, there are still no direct flights between Montreal and Peking, and that is a handicap.
The government of Quebec has created a partnership that brings together Investissement Québec and the ministère de l'Immigration. It is a sort of guidance program. We are working on it.
Yes, we bring money into our SMEs. However, as Éric and Pierre Emmanuel were saying earlier, these immigrants spend a lot of money. So it is to our advantage to increase the numbers, but I think we have to do more to get these people to discover Quebec.
