Mr. Chairman, I would just like to refer to the Montreal report, that we would be very pleased to share with the committee. If you would like to have it, I should tell you that it is a report which includes a summary of all the comments that were made, including those in relation to the questions you just asked.
In terms of the role of the community, we noted, based on studies carried out by researchers associated with the Metropolis Project, that the community plays a critical role in integrating and, especially, retaining immigrants. Once immigrants have been economically integrated into the community, they must feel welcomed by members of that community. That is where community organizations play a very important role. That day, we also concluded that municipalities can play a greater role, and that they often do not have enough information, are not properly trained or prepared, and do not have access to enough resources to handle the arrival of French-speaking immigrants.
