Thanks very much, and I'm glad you asked this question because I find this issue often flies under the radar.
When we look at resettling people, it's one thing to say we can bring a lot of people here and that's important. Our communities need to continue to grow, but we have to make sure that we set people up for success when they arrive as well. The racialized newcomer women pilot is going to help ensure that people adjust to life in their community and allow them the skills to not just do well, but to gain employment and to advance their careers when they're here.
The response that we're seeing from stakeholders who benefited from this is that it's actually working. The reason I raised it in my remarks today is because there's additional funding, including in the supplementary estimates (C), that allows us to extend this program for at least another year.
One of the things we need to continue to do is assess whether our pilot programs are working and, if they are, look at extending and making them permanent. We did it recently with the Atlantic immigration pilot program, which is now permanent, and now we're extending the racialized women newcomer pilot because we're experiencing success with those who tapped into the benefits of the program.
