  2. Québec Immigration Minister Kathleen Weil provided the framework of a new immigration policy aimed at attracting immigrants to the Canadian province who are more likely to succeed in the provincial labour market. Ms. Weil stated that this new plan, called 'Together, We Are Québec' (or Ensemble, nous sommes le Québec), will take into account changing labour trends and streamline the immigration process. The new policy is accompanied by a five-year action strategy from 2016-2021. Another key aim of the plan is to retain immigrants who are in Québec on temporary visas as students or temporary workers. "People have a lot of choices right now," said Ms. Weil. "Many European countries and the U.S. are interesting [places] to potential immigrants and we want to do as well, or better, than our competitors." Weil noted that the current immigration system, in which it can take years for a person to be approved to immigrate to Québec, needs to be changed. "By the time [immigrants] get here, the labour market has changed."
