We believe that when newcomers come here they should have every opportunity to succeed. It's good for them, it's good for the country, and it's certainly good for their families.
One of the key parts of doing that is making sure they get a kind of orientation program, which we call “settlement programming”. It helps them learn about Canadian ways, how to look for a job, and make sure they have English language skills that are up to the job, quite literally.
We've invested $1.4 billion over five years in expanding settlement programming, which had been frozen for 10 years. Coincidentally, we saw immigrant success rates decline significantly during that 10-year period. We don't want that to happen. We're reversing the trend.
