In our work and consultations with the communities, representatives and networks, we determined that a lot of work remained to be done, even though we've accomplished a lot in five years. I therefore believe that the percentage of francophone immigrants who settled outside Quebec last year was approximately 1%. To reach the target 4.4%, a considerable effort will have to be made to ensure there are networks in our communities that can take in people and retain them, which means that employers and the NGOs must be engaged to ensure that we can create conditions conducive to attraction and retention.
I believe it is more realistic to change our objectives for the intermediate phase. It will take a lot of time and energy to work in partnership with other organizations and representatives to ensure that we create the necessary conditions to attract and retain people in the minority communities.
