Thank you, Madam Chair.
I really need to be transparent here. Several witnesses criticized the department at committee for its lack of clarity and transparency.
We do not have the same numbers at all for 2020, Deputy Minister. What I have says that targets were not met for Quebec. Quebec had a target of 43,000 to 44,500 immigrants, but the federal government was able to process only about 25,000 cases. For economic immigration, Quebec's target was around 26,000 immigrants admitted, and 14,000 to 17,000 were admitted. For skilled workers, the target was 22,000, and only 12,000 were admitted.
We definitely do not have the same numbers. I'd like you to explain why this situation occurred in 2020.
