I would like to say that I am pleased with the plan you have submitted. In my view, you have examined the existing problems and challenges and have tried to target your efforts in order to overcome them. Your plan contains specific measures and objectives. I appreciate the fact that there are federal, provincial, regional and community objectives to be achieved over a five-year period. Indeed, it takes time to obtain concrete results.
For an immigrant, the decision to move to a given area is complex because it involves a number of factors. These include the size of the city, cost of living, employment and the region's accessibility.
I would like to know how you intend to integrate all these factors in your next reports. As an incentive for immigrants, you try to target the minority language issue. However, there are other issues, beyond your control.
How will you take these factors into consideration, when you report on your data and achievements?
