Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank my Conservative colleague. How kind of him! I appreciate it. He let me use his time because I was perhaps too eager to speak to the witnesses.
Ms. Caissie‑Richard, I believe that we can make some quite useful connections between your comments and Ms. Zhuang's earlier remarks regarding integration. We must keep in mind that the integration of migrants differs depending on whether they belong to a national minority group or a linguistic minority group. You clearly illustrated this point.
I'll quickly give you some figures that struck me. In 2024, 57,000 temporary migrants arrived in Quebec. Before that, in 2023, the figure was 65,000. In 2025, I believe that one-third of Canada's asylum seekers, most of whom are temporary migrants, came to Quebec.
In Quebec, we prioritize the integration of French speakers, with language being a key factor.
I wonder whether a certain mechanism could be developed. As Ms. Zhuang clearly explained, our intake capacity depends on our infrastructure. When we have too many temporary migrants or asylum seekers, this places pressure on public services and infrastructure as a whole. Wouldn't it be possible to adjust the migration of francophones to ensure that the Atlantic provinces take in a slightly higher proportion? What could the federal government put in place? I don't want to say it this way, because it sounds a bit insensitive. However, it seems that, from a volume perspective, the figures are disproportionate. You'll agree with me. Couldn't a mechanism be implemented here? I would like to hear your opinion on this.
