New francophone immigrants come from the big Francophonie family. As you know, they have very diverse backgrounds. They come from all over the world, including Belgium, Switzerland, Rwanda and the Ivory Coast. The services that we provide across Canada reflect this great diversity.
When I organized a round table in Edmonton, the community from francophone Africa was in very good shape. They had access to many programs and organizations on the ground that were providing services to new immigrants.
When immigrants come to Canada, francophone officials are not the only ones to greet them. There are also people who have come here recently and who receive subsidies from the Government of Canada. Those people can tell newcomers about their personal experiences and what has worked for them. The goal is for new immigrants to be able to see their future in Canada with confidence
Perhaps Hubert could give you the figures for the various countries which we have commitments with. As you know, we have many humanitarian commitments with Haiti and the Congo, for instance. Many new francophone Canadians come from those countries.
