Mr. Speaker, last Friday the Prime Minister refused to grant any immigration powers to the Premier of Quebec. It would be less insulting if the federal government were the least bit competent, but everything it touches is a disaster. The wait time is now 31 months for Quebeckers applying for permanent residence. There is a backlog of 29,000 case files. The government is being sued by people who have been waiting for 13 years. Does the Prime Minister realize that not only should he give Quebec the powers it is asking for, but he should be grateful to do so?
