Minister, you've really kept your word. Hats off to you.
We sat together on the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities six years ago, and you were on my right. I was very impressed by your size, and you told me you were very impressed by my French. You added that you were going to learn French, and you did. I congratulate you because you've made considerable progress. It's quite difficult to speak French, and I know it takes a little more time. You're nevertheless able to get your message across.
Feel free to answer my questions in English, if that lets you say more.
Minister, according to the numbers that members of your department sent us today, 29,000 French-speaking permanent residents were admitted to Quebec in 2021.
Would you please tell us how the provinces, particularly Quebec, are included in the process of admitting francophone immigrants?
