Mr. Speaker, while the Government of Quebec is pulling out all the stops and launching Opération main-d’oeuvre, a game plan to address the labour shortage, this government is just sitting on the sidelines and does not appear to understand the situation. Our companies are slowing down production, and that is because they do not have enough workers to fill the 280,000 jobs currently vacant in Quebec. Will the Prime Minister show some leadership, take a cue from Quebec, and take the labour shortage seriously?

Mr. Speaker, we do not want speeches and words; we want action. With respect to immigration, last week I told the House about Rotobec, a company in my riding that is currently trying to fill 30 jobs, including a dozen through immigration. It was confirmed to me today that, once again, Rotobec will have to wait months and months before it can fill these job vacancies and bring in these newcomers. What is the Prime Minister waiting for to help our businesses and finally take action to address the delays in processing immigrant worker applications?
