Mr. Speaker, the proposed new thresholds are a step in the right direction, but they still force Quebec to choose between accepting more immigrants or losing political weight within Canada. That being said, Quebec's main concern is still temporary immigration and, above all, asylum seekers. There is still no plan for distributing asylum seekers among the provinces, and Quebec is still taking on nearly half of all asylum seekers in Canada. It is the federal government's responsibility to convince reluctant provinces to do their part.
What is the government waiting for?
