Mr. Desgagné and Mr. Denault, I live in Quebec City. I am a Quebec City resident. Even if there is an extremely high francophone population and we have universities close by, it is difficult to find workers in a number of sectors, and mainly, there are shortages in health care. This is not only true for your regions, but for all regions. I can understand some of your frustration, which we share. This phenomenon is being felt across the country due to the aging of the population. Demand is high, because there are a number of positions to fill. I understand your position, but this is happening throughout Quebec and Canada.
