Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to answer the question when the member across the way assures me that she has read the Canada-Quebec accord.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to let him know that I have read it. The federal government has no lessons to give Quebec on successful immigration.

The result is a great partnership, but no additional powers, no money for asylum s

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, I wonder what $5.2 billion means to the member across the way. Since 2015, our government has maintained good relations under the Canada-Quebec accord and that will continue. It was a good meeting with Premier Legault. The member across the way refuses to admit it,

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you very much, Chair. Thank you very much for the briefing.
