Thank you, Madam Chair.
I simply would like to say to my colleagues that the only thing I'm unhappy about is that this amendment could affect levels of immigration. I am aware of the fact that the wording gives consideration to Quebec and its powers, but if immigration rates are increased everywhere except Quebec, then the demographic weight of Quebec will take a hit.
I'm in agreement with the increased resources mentioned in Ms. Kwan's amendment, but humbly and amicably, if we could remove the reference to levels of immigration from the amendment, I would certainly support it. Otherwise, I will have to vote against it. If immigration levels increase everywhere in Canada except Quebec, then I'm sure you'll agree that it would affect Quebec's demographic weight. I don't think that's what we want and I don't think it's necessary in order to deal with the current crisis. For staffing resources, I fully agree, but I don't think there is a need to mention levels of immigration.
Thank you.
