Of course, Madam Chair. Thank you.
Good evening, Minister.
Welcome to the committee.
The francophone community is well established across the country and deserves the same dedication and support given to all Canadians. We want small communities and francophone immigrants to be able to prosper. To that end, the government has committed to reach the target admission rate of 4.4% for francophone immigrants outside Quebec.
Can you give us an update on the progress the government has made in this important file and tell us about the impact of the changes made to immigration categories to achieve the objectives set by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, or IRCC?
