Madam Roy, you've been clear that francophone minority communities outside Quebec are facing a huge demographic decline and that immigration plays a central role in reversing that trend.
In January, the Minister of Immigration announced that Canada will exceed its 2025 target, reaching 8.9% on the 8.5% target, and that this target will continue to increase to 10.5% in 2026. From your perspective, what message does exceeding the 2025 target send to the francophone minority community across the country? Looking ahead, if Canada continues to meet or exceed these targets, what impact could that have on the vitality and long-term sustainability of francophone communities over the next decade?
