Mr. Speaker, the Premier of Quebec is getting impatient, and for good reason. Ottawa is dragging its feet on immigration files.
The QMI Agency reported this morning that Ottawa has a backlog of 51,446 immigration applications. This means that more than 51,000 people around the world are hoping and dreaming of living in Quebec, but Ottawa is dragging its feet.
Even though Quebec has more than 100,000 positions available, these people have to wait.
Why is Ottawa dragging its feet on applications for immigration to Quebec?
