Very good.
Our brief provides seven recommendations, which I will not go into detail about. But communities need the stability of secure financial support, so we need large amounts of money for a long time. We need to continue the investment in the road map. We need to examine the model being developed around our regional project. We need the regional project initiative to be implemented for employment services as well as for entrepreneurship. We need to ensure that the needs of the minority community are considered when funds are transferred to the province. We need to provide moneys where services are provided remotely and virtually. We need to invest in community organizations that can broker the moneys invested in them with volunteers and other support from the business community.
Vulnerable populations, including youth and new immigrants, first seek the services of their local community groups for support. These groups need financial resources to ensure their long-term stability and sustainability. Youth retention and attraction as well as successful integration of new arrivals is key to the future of the English minority communities, the future of Quebec, and the future of Canada as a whole.
