Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois should pay attention to the news. We made it very clear that we are going to reduce the number of people who are here on a temporary basis from 7% to 5%. I have a question for the Bloc Québécois members. Where would they make cuts? I want them to

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes. I recognize this fact, and I've seen a lot of newspaper articles about it. The figures tend to show it. I'll let my colleagues at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada answer that question. That said, we note that many Quebec educational institutions, especially

I know that we've increased economic immigration categories and that a significant amount of work has been done there, and then there's an impact from the investment made in credential recognition. In terms of goods getting to service and crossing provincial lines

We'll see how the cap impacts them, but more important is the fact that the ones who are here will be able to work. On the immigration side, there has been some good work done. We're a little worried about

Industry committee   that the Conservatives are all that interested in productivity. It's clearly a political ploy to make the news. Why weren't immigration policy experts proposed? We have a Canadian immigration policy, which aims to bring cheap labour and vulnerable people to Canada in large numbers. There isn't

Intergovernmental Relations  , the military, the border, immigration, the cost of living or controlling expenses, to name only a few, this government has failed to take action. What is the government doing now? It is encroaching on provincial jurisdiction. That is none of its business. When it comes to its own affairs

Finance  Mr. Speaker, this Prime Minister's incompetence is not worth the cost. His actions and overspending at the federal level have made a mess of inflation, interest rates, the military, immigration and the list goes on. Instead of cleaning up his own mess at the federal level, he

We are already having trouble in Canada aligning immigration policy with our own domestic housing and expanded infrastructure deficits. We now see that we have our own climate refugees.

There are a lot of different ways in which we can address that challenge and I think the investment tax credits are a big part of that with mandatory apprenticeship requirements. I think we need to look at ways that we can leverage the immigration

Business of Supply   did it for immigration targets. We asked that the federal government meet with Quebec and the other provinces. However, there were no lies in our preamble. We asked for a meeting on targets, policies and health transfers, but the facts in the preamble to the motion were true

Official Languages committee   that Manitoba's francophone community is growing and that this growth is the result of francophone newcomers from all over the world. As you know, our committee has been heavily involved in studying immigration. It has also been looking at what needs to be brought to the attention

Official Languages committee  Thank you for the question. It's always a battle, but we work very hard to ensure the sustainability of our community. Today's growth is more due to immigration. So that's a very important element for us. We have several bilingual municipalities, as well as a francophone school
