Let us be clear. Quebec has control over recruiting, receiving, integrating and settling immigrants. There is no mystery there. However, the federal department continues to play an overall role. One of its roles has to do with research. We discovered that there is much less research on anglophones in Quebec than on the experience of francophone immigrants outside Quebec. That is why our recommendation is directed not at the Government of Quebec, but at Citizenship and Immigration Canada, to ensure that research is more responsive to community needs.
There is already some purely statistical research that we used, and it is very useful. We based some of our findings on that research. More qualitative research is conducted through a contract process rather than through grants and contributions. Consequently, institutions that conduct research that better reflects the needs of anglophone communities have a hard time accessing that money.
Currently in Quebec, there are some things being done to receive anglophone immigrants that work very well. We wanted people to know that, and I quoted Mayor Labeaume at a forum on integrating immigrants to Quebec City. From what people told me, immigrants integrate very well into Quebec society. They talked about the importance of having anglophone institutions in the community to facilitate their integration.
