Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It is always a pleasure to see you, Mr. Fraser.
I would like to go back to the questions of immigration, integration and the official languages.
Last week, the National Metropolis Conference was held, with “Building an Integrated Society” as its theme. There were discussions and round tables on topics like immigration, integration and so on. At one of the round tables, the main topic was how to study the immigration question without any data
How do we study? How do we do? Is it feasible to do a study when we don't have the information? This is directly in response to the cutting of the long-form census, which gave us a lot of detailed information and helped government target where the support was needed. To continue the discussion on immigration without that information, how is your department going to be able to target where support is needed, where there are deficiencies in the integration of immigrants into our society, as well as continuing to be able to watch over how both official languages are faring in minority situations?
