I would like to make two recommendations.
The discrimination that the federal Department of Citizenship and Immigration has shown toward francophone immigrants undermines Quebec's efforts to attract francophone and francotrope immigrants who will integrate well into French-speaking Quebec. In my opinion, temporary immigration authority, which includes foreign students, should be transferred to Quebec.
Furthermore, the grants that the federal government makes to Quebec universities put French-language universities at a definite disadvantage. Nearly 40% of funding that Ottawa provides to Quebec is allocated to English-language universities. Approximately one third of federal funding goes to McGill University alone. Systemic discrimination is exercised against French-language universities in federal funding allocation.
Funding allocation based on so-called excellence criteria in fact rewards past winners and penalizes past losers. In other words, that funding rewards universities that are already the richest, such as McGill. Different criteria should be introduced in federal grant programs.
