Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, in 2022, following a request from the Bloc Québécois, this committee conducted a study on the unfairness of the approval rate for applications for study permits from francophone African students compared to that of foreign students from elsewhere in the world. There were record refusal rates of up to 90%.
Recommendations have been made, and in my opinion, the most important one is recommendation 15. I'm going to remind you of it, since it's normal for you not to know it by heart. According to this recommendation, the intent to settle in Canada should not impede the obtaining of a study permit.
Have you implemented that recommendation?
