Thank you for coming out.
It's interesting. I'm filling in this morning and appreciate the opportunity to be here.
As I look through the original part of your study, on page 17, I'm wondering about the number of immigrants settling outside Quebec who claim to know French and English. Then there's the superior knowledge of French as opposed to English, and then the superior knowledge of English as opposed to French.
When we look at the number of immigrants who have come in since 2002 to 2004, there's about a 20% total increase. The number of immigrants who have a superior knowledge of French has dropped, and the number who have a superior knowledge of English, as opposed to French, has risen.
In terms of working knowledge and the ability to settle into your community, be fluent, and work, can you help me to understand the significance of those numbers and what they actually mean?
