The immigration bill was in last year‘s Queen’s Speech – it would enable the government to end the free movement of EU nationals into the UK but ministers said it would allow the country to attract “the brightest and the best”。
Last October， then immigration minister Brandon Lewis said a White Paper would be published in autumn 2017 with the bill being brought forward “in the New Year”。
In February， the home affairs committee noted there was still “considerable uncertainty about when the White Paper will be published” and said the delays had caused “anxiety for EU citizens in the UK， uncertainty for UK businesses and concern in Parliament”。
The Times reported on Friday that Brexit-supporting ministers were putting pressure on Home Secretary Amber Rudd to speed up the bill， amid concerns ministers want to use preferential access for EU workers as a bargaining chip with Brussels in Brexit talks。
Asked about the report， the prime minister‘s spokesman said： “We’re considering a range of options for the future immigration system which will be based on the evidence。“
“We will set out initial plans and publish a White Paper in the coming months with a bill to follow。”
“我们将制定初步计划，并在接下来的几个月内发布白皮书，并提交法案。”
Ms Rudd told the home affairs committee in March that the bill would be published “early next year” to establish new rules for 2021 – arguing that the agreement reached with the EU on citizens‘ rights had “to a certain extent” had removed the urgency。
The Home Office said the transition period agreement meant that the immigration bill “will not be needed until after this period ends in December 2020。 The bills will be brought forward when Parliamentary time allows”。

Westmount地方不大，教育资源却很丰富。这里有享誉整个华人社区的蒙特利尔国际中学（École Internationale de Montréal）。这所学校隶属于蒙特利尔教育委员会，通过联合国教科文组织认证，采用世界最着名的International Baccalaureate（简称IB）国际课程。位于该社区的Westmount High School也是全蒙特利尔地区排名最靠前的中学之一，无论在学生潜能开发，知识积累，还是个人成长等方面，这所学校的单项排名都一直占据排名榜的前十名。除了公立学校之外，Westmount的私立教育也很发达。全区有8所私立小学，两所私立中学。
苏富比（Sotheby’s International Realty Canada）2017年9月发表的报告体现了这趋势，温哥华和多伦多豪华房市下降之时，蒙特利尔当年7、8月份的100万以上住宅物业销售数量年同比上升了60%，远高于上半年的17%。该报告将此归功于经济及就业增长，但有业内人士称，外国买家在当地寻求买房的兴趣上升。
