To answer your questions, Mr. St-Cyr, I will say that these are two different processes. As I mentioned earlier in my presentation, the Quebec cases have already been screened in part by Quebec. Quebec selection certificates have already been issued.
For example, out of 100 applications submitted in Quebec, about 75 get through at present, which gives an acceptance rate of 75%. It is those 75 cases that go through the federal process. Then maybe 72 or 73 of them are accepted at the federal level. The 70% acceptance rate for the federal cases is the gross figure, given that there is no CSQ issued for those cases; it is a residence visa that is issued. That is why you can't really compare the two figures.
As for the process itself, Quebec is responsible for selection, while the federal government is responsible for admission. That is part of the accord with Quebec. Admission has to do with the medical and security aspects. So that explains the 29 rejected cases. Admission can also be refused because the source of the funds was not proved.
