Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have finally started listening to the message passed on from Quebeckers by the Bloc Québécois. Instead of raising their immigration target to 500,000 people a year, they are going to lower it to 365,000 by 2027.
If Quebec were to accept the federal government's new target, it would have to welcome more than 80,000 immigrants a year. That is more than the target set by Quebec and all its political parties. No one is proposing more than 80,000 immigrants per year.
How can the federal government determine that Quebec has the capacity to welcome more immigrants than the target set by all of Quebec's parties?
