My other question is for the representatives of both groups.
I would like to know whether your programs are available in both official languages. I'm asking because of what I see in my region.
Often, people see job opportunities. They decide, for instance, to leave northern Quebec to go work in Alberta. They have some knowledge and skills. However, it is of the utmost importance that they be able to transfer that experience to the community they are settling in, once they arrive in their new region.
I would like to know whether your programs are available in both official languages. In addition, what do you do to help those workers integrate into their new community, so that the community can truly benefit and so that they do not leave six months later?
Also, is an effort being made to integrate, for instance, the wives of workers who go to northern communities? Is anything being done to help them integrate into the labour market? They are new to a region, and that is often more difficult for the spouses who follow their significant other.
