Thank you.
I think that this is worth noting. Canada organizes many missions, but these missions often focus on French‑speaking Europe. It's quite difficult to see where things stand with the missions that focus on the African continent.
We know perfectly well that the Canada of the future will be represented by diversity and that this diversity will come from the African continent. We still don't focus much on missions in Africa. It remains difficult to promote them there.
I personally have taken part in missions. However, they were in Europe, particularly in countries such as France.
As I always say, francophone immigration is an added value for the Canadian economy. I think that, when Canada can attract many more French‑speaking African immigrants, it will see talented people coming in with the potential to contribute to the Canadian economy on a daily basis.
I think that we need to focus on missions in Africa. Yet we still see systemic barriers in this area. There are many challenges. Canada prioritizes white European immigration over African immigration.
