Good morning, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Godin left me a list of questions to ask because I wasn't here last week.
At the last meeting, on Tuesday, the communities talked about the importance of pre-departure orientation and preparation sessions in immigrants' countries of origin. The goal is to facilitate their economic integration once they are in Canada. The FCFA emphasized that these kinds of sessions were offered in China, the Philippines and India—and soon in London—to immigrants coming to settle in Canada. However, there aren't any in the francophone countries, except at the Canadian embassy in Paris, which is responsible for those sessions at Canadian embassies abroad.
Why is that the case? Don't you agree that this is very important and that we should start offering these sessions in francophone countries?
