Assimilation is a fact. It is everywhere, even in Ottawa, believe it or not. I would even say that it exists in the Parliament of Canada, but we are working to reverse the trend. Whatever, we must not always see the glass half empty. We have to see what positive things can be done.
So I will turn back to Ms. Mills.
Madam Mills, I urge you to seriously consider incorporating into your strategic plan an objective of higher than 4% for francophone immigration. And the reason for that should be fairly obvious.
If indeed the act that you are referring to--I'm not talking about the federal act, but your act--calls for an improvement on a yearly basis, I would argue, and I would hope you'd agree with me, although we'll see... I'll give you some time to respond, with a short response, though, because I'm afraid of what you might do to me.
