Madam Speaker, I commend my colleague from Vaughan—Woodbridge, whose French is getting better all the time. Obviously, the Bloc is opposed to any sort of hiring quota and the imposition of such quotas on the basis of the four criteria set out by the Liberal government. How would the member, who is from the business community, react if his superiors gave him similar instructions and he had to hire people in his sector based on those four criteria?

Madam Speaker, setting aside the selection criteria imposed by the Liberal government, the whole identity aspect that appears in these criteria, and the interference, once again, by the Liberals, is there not a major risk that the government may in some way undermine the autonomy that is so important to universities?

Madam Chair, I thank my colleague from Hochelaga, whom I respect and admire. I would like to ask her a very simple question. Imagine she is choosing between two job applicants. One has a great personality, an outstanding resumé and amazing experience. The other meets one of the four criteria. Assuming we are talking about science, and not some other thing, would my colleague really be okay with hiring the second applicant?

Madam Speaker, I get the impression that there was a very superficial or cursory reading of this bill. Our motion is absolutely not about discrimination. We are all in favour of equity, diversity and inclusion. I would ask my colleague, who focused on women in her speech, which is great since we would all like there to be more women, what she thinks about the fact that, right now, 70% of the medical students at the Université de Montréal are women. Should there be criteria for reducing the number of female medical students at the Université de Montréal?
