Mr. Speaker, what weakens the Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie, or APF, is not the fact that more members have joined. It is the fact that the Bloc Québécois is going after a member who took responsibility for what he said, apologized many times and now continues to stand up for francophones across Canada and to honour us by being president of this international organization that is getting ready to soon welcome the world. We will all stand behind the president of the APF as he carries out his duties.

Madam Speaker, I thank my dear friend and colleague for his eloquent speech. We agree that Quebec is the master of its own destiny when it comes to selecting immigrants. They could all be francophones, for example. Quebec can exercise its right to welcome up to one-quarter of all the immigrants who come to Canada. There are agreements between Canada and Quebec to protect the demographic weight of francophones in Canada. Can the hon. member tell us more about that?
