Mr. Speaker, they reached their francophone immigration target once in 20 years and they are boasting about it. That is ridiculous. Immigration thresholds are not an abstract concept or just a number in a notebook. They are not statistics that are just thrown around. Behind the numbers there are people with needs. These people need housing, they need health care, day care and schools for their children. They also need to integrate into their new society, learn its language and its culture. We cannot look at immigration from a strictly economic point of view. We are talking about human beings. Will the government commit to rejecting this bad initiative and finally consider the ability to integrate these people when establishing these thresholds?
