Mr. Speaker, Quebec reaps significant benefits from the Canada—Quebec accord on immigration. In fact, Quebec selects 74% of permanent immigrants. It sets the criteria, including knowledge of French. Quebec also determines the profiles for temporary foreign workers and foreign students, including their knowledge of the French language. In 2020-2021 alone, we sent nearly $700 million to Quebec to help integrate immigrants, which includes French-language learning. We are working together despite the fact that the Bloc would like to stir up trouble where there is none. We are working well together.
