I think I understand your question.

I would say that it would be if the anglophones going to Quebec under the federal system—I'm guessing—were to have lower earnings.

I'm agnostic on the language issue. The federal program should be geared to generating immigrants' earnings, 10 years out, that are above average. If that's not happening, then I would agree that it's a problem.
