I want to thank my colleague Mr. Murphy.
Mr. Boucher, thank you for being here. I know you had your first monthly meeting after the annual meeting.
You obviously decided that immigration was one of the ways to avoid regressing. If we don't want to regress, we have to invite people here, to expand the Francophone space, as you said.
I remember that $9 million was provided under the plan for the immigration program. That's not a lot. I remember that there was a lot of money for government staff, and I think there remains $60,000 per province per year. That's not a lot.
Are you actively recruiting, first of all? Second, you mentioned programs with the province. Does the province consult you to determine who you want to bring in, for example, and from what countries?
