I did so in a general context where government policy in Ottawa and Quebec City is to slow down the pace of immigration.
First, it's quite clear that, compared to countries like those Mr. Barutciski referred to—namely, Germany and Denmark—Canada has a higher proportion of people arriving here as asylum seekers.
Second, over the past year and a half, over half a million more asylum seekers have arrived in Canada.
So I made this proposal in a general context where the pace has to be slowed down, not only in Quebec—I know you're particularly concerned about the issue in Quebec—but also in Ontario. Quebec and Ontario take in 85% of all asylum seekers in Canada.
So I proposed two things to the Government of Quebec. On the one hand, I proposed that asylum claims be moderated at the same pace as other sources of temporary immigration. Second, I suggested that, to the extent possible—I'm not an expert in this area—there be better interprovincial distribution.
