Thank you for your question. I would say it's quite complex. We know that, if we adopt this concept of immigrant integration, it's of course linguistic, cultural, economic and social integration. As we mentioned, language is only one of the factors of that integration, of course.
Quebec is a quite obvious example. In the Maghreb community in Quebec, there are various types of integration, various approaches. We know very well that the Arabic mother tongue community in Quebec is one of the largest groups of recent immigrants and that those immigrants will not integrate easily. It isn't just the linguistic aspect that is involved. We are pleased to receive francophone immigrants, but cultural and social integration, particularly in more "traditional" communities, if we may use that term, raises obvious challenges.
When I went to make a presentation before various representatives of the French-language school boards of Eastern Ontario following Ontario's decision to adopt a new definition of francophonie to include immigrants, they were very interested but, at the same time, somewhat novices in the field since there are no immigrants in that region. For them, the entire issue of immigrant integration in francophone communities was a novelty, whereas that is not the case in the major urban centres. It may vary by region, but when it comes to the rural regions, there is often more than just the issue of linguistic integration; there is the act of entering a community that does not at all have the same customs and usages, as it were.
