Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, folks, for being here. It's quite an interesting discussion. As an immigrant here myself, one of the key things for my coming here was jobs. I suspect that's the same situation with francophones who are coming here. Certainly, it's an important factor.
We've had witnesses here before who have actually told us that most of the francophone communities are having trouble retaining their own communities within that organization.... In other words, the younger people are going off to other places for education and are not coming back. Clearly, they're not coming back because, for their qualifications, those are the jobs that actually will support them. That's a fairly important factor.
I'm going to turn to a subject that's a little different. What countries is Canada competing with to attract francophone immigrants? Francophone people obviously are immigrating to different countries as well.
Let me start with you, Monsieur Boileau.
