Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question.
This is a very important question, because immigration is key to addressing the labour shortage. Once again, I would like to inform my colleague and the House that during the first quarter of 2022 we processed more than 100,000 work permits, which is nearly double the number of applications processed during that same period in 2021.
We will continue to ensure that employers in Quebec and Canada have access to the workers they need to participate in Canada's economic recovery.
