Language training is particularly important for new Canadians, and that's why we're increasing significantly immigration settlement dollars--an issue that had been pushed very hard in my province by Premiers Rae, Harris, and McGuinty--for Ontario to get fair treatment. This is the first budget where we're moving towards that, and I'm very proud of this because there are a lot of new Canadians in my own constituency in Ottawa where I serve, a big city, and there and in the Toronto and greater Toronto area there are significant needs that can now be met.
I spoke to an individual the other day who works in the immigration settlement agency in my own constituency, and they're seeing a lot of action on the ground now in that area, which I'm very proud of. It's something we advocated very strongly about. I know long before the election I had the then-leader of the opposition talk to my premier, meet with my premier, put aside politics, to try to push this issue. It was only when Stephen Harper got involved and began to push this issue that finally the Liberal government federally began to cave under all that collective pressure, and now the Conservative government is delivering on that, and I'm very proud of it.
