Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Léger, I would like to welcome you to the committee. First of all, I want to extend my sincere thanks for the clarifications—let's describe them that way—that you provided with respect to the efforts made by the provincial government in Nova Scotia, and particularly, the lack of services in French or the non-availability of such services. That may not have been the impression that we were given when we met with certain individuals. So, I appreciate those clarifications, because they will be helpful in preparing our report.
I also note a desire that you expressed earlier. You said that you would like to see the government refugee initiative—which has been tested in Manitoba—extended to other areas. I do hope this will be featured in our report and our recommendations. That remains to be seen.
I would like to ask a question about targets. I discussed this in particular with the representative of the Nova Scotian government or agency. I wanted to know whether, like myself, you would like there to be a target. If so, is it your intention to approach government officials to discuss this?
