Mr. Speaker, an application refusal rate of 72% is more than triple that in Ontario. Beyond all of these individuals' shattered dreams, the Institut du Québec is concerned that Quebec's activity is threatened. In other words, the federal government is pushing francophones to go study elsewhere when they could be making an invaluable contribution to Quebec. Those who leave after their studies become the most extraordinary ambassadors in the Francophonie that Quebec could ever imagine. Those who stay become a dynamic force in our labour market. When will the federal government stop standing in their way?
