I would like to discuss Syrian refugees.
Your audit focused on the measures implemented and their results—on whether we were able to properly welcome refugees in large numbers in 2015, 2016 and recently. When we read your report, we see that your assessment measures are still pretty vague—and I am not blaming you for that. There are no specific indicators to help us determine whether it was a success or a failure. It is very difficult to measure the integration of immigrants or the success of their arrival.
Two things have to be considered: the overall situation and the situation in Quebec. Regarding the situation in Quebec, we understand that immigration is essentially the responsibility of that province because of an agreement concluded some 30 years ago between the two governments. We also understand that it is difficult for you to have access to that information.
What does the Canadian government have to do to be able to measure the quality of the welcome extended to immigrants in Canada more adequately?
