Mr. Speaker, I listened to my colleague's speech with great interest. I would like to ask him a question about the other provinces. I was very pleased to see that we reached our target for francophone immigration to the other provinces, notably New Brunswick, Manitoba and Ontario. I remember that this work was really done in partnership, which was not at all the case eight years ago. I would like my colleague to comment. Does he think we should continue in the same direction of encouraging francophone immigration throughout Canada?

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech and today's motion. I am very proud of the integration efforts we have been seeing in my riding, Châteauguay—Lacolle, for some time now. We have a labour shortage, and everyone is very grateful. Quebec has imposed a limit for family reunification. I would like my colleague to comment on that problem. People in my riding—francophone Quebeckers—are waiting for their husbands and wives. Obviously they will have homes. Many of them already have jobs. If these people could come here, that would be wonderful, but apparently the quota for 2023 has been met.
