On our end, we work in French because we are from Quebec. Quebec's laws for obtaining permanent residence are much more complicated, much more difficult. The French language is very difficult to learn for people who don't know it. However, in my business, the workers are Filipinos who don't speak French. They speak English and the language commonly used in their country. They've been attending French classes for three years, ever since they arrived on the islands.
For people like our workers, the program you're implementing requires much more time and French classes; it's not just a matter of applying for permanent residence. Today, we are running out of time because the programs have been halted, all the laws have been changed, and our workers have to go back home.
