Good morning, Mr. Fraser. I'm pleased to see you back among us.
I'm going to talk to you mainly about the vitality of the official language minority communities, an issue this committee studied when I belonged to it. The demographic issue and the economic development of those communities are two matters I consider important.
On the one hand, we know that the aging of the population affects societies and minority communities. The arrival of new immigrants, newcomers from elsewhere, is part of the solution. I'd like to know your observations with regard to the ability of minority communities to attract and retain immigrants so that a dynamic is established in those communities.
On the other hand, I would like you to tell us what we should focus on to ensure not only that those minority communities have a good ability to retain people, but so that they are also places where others will want to come. We know that's very important in certain places, in certain minority communities.
