I'm afraid I don't have expertise on our multiculturalism program, so I can only give a very general answer to your question, sir.
All of the government's multiculturalism programs, and indeed our settlement programs and the significant increase in settlement funding of late, are designed to ensure that immigrants are fully participating members of Canadian society. Our multiculturalism programs are designed clearly to ensure that all Canadians benefit from the rich backgrounds of numerous cultures living harmoniously within Canada.
Certainly, the Department of Foreign Affairs, as part of its mandate works hard to take advantage of those people-to-people linkages through alumni networks and other diaspora-related programs in the countries abroad, so those people-to-people ties rebound to Canada's maximum benefit.
