Mr. Chair, I do not know where the member opposite gets his numbers. In a previous response, I mentioned that the federal government pays the Government of Quebec $181.6 million for integration and everything else related to immigration. It is not $20 million, but $181.6 million. That is almost more than all the other funds we inject throughout Canada. Quebec welcomes 25% of all immigrants arriving in Canada. That is why we pay Quebec $181.6 million.
In the House of Commons on May 18th, 2005. See this statement in context.
