In fact, the first thing, as we saw in the parliamentary immigration committee, is that we mainly handle anglophone immigration to Canada. It's important that a national immigration policy be put in place in the francophone and Acadian communities. That's the first element. Among other things, that would define intergovernmental and interdepartmental cooperation, which is absolutely essential if we want to achieve success in this file and for there to be better linkages between our communities and government actions.
Second, when we refer to interdepartmental cooperation, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada and Industry Canada must work together to develop a plan for the economic integration of francophone immigrants. Among other things, we're talking about recognizing credentials and relaxing the criteria of certain programs that, at times, may undermine advances in the file.
There's also the comprehensive evaluation framework. Earlier we were wondering what should be done and what investments are being made. I think that, after five or six years, the time has definitely come for a comprehensive evaluation of the actual impact of the strategy put in place by the government. Currently, we don't have an evaluation framework, and that's why we would like one.
The parliamentary committee should also include francophone immigration in all its studies and committee meetings.
