It's quite complex. I think we need to continue promoting bilingualism and bilingual talent. Employers say they're looking for bilingual talent, but in practice, they don't hire bilingual talent because they don't always have access to the channels to hire them.
Together with private employers, we have established a bilingual talent council to raise awareness among these employers about hiring bilingual francophone talent.
I think there should be more resources and greater availability to help employers promote this. We also need to change the system, because francophone immigrants—especially Black francophone immigrants—face systemic racism during the job search process. Indeed, how can we explain that despite having degrees, skills, and sometimes Canadian degrees, they cannot secure a job?
So, there is still real discrimination in the labour market, because this talent is not necessarily recognized.
