I think that, across the country, communities are increasingly recognizing the importance of immigration to their development. There is a government policy aimed at increasing francophone immigration in those communities, but the fact that the provinces have taken back the power to select immigrants changes things. Be that as it may, I think that few provinces have a specific target. I think that Manitoba and New Brunswick are the only provinces that recruit abroad. In my opinion, the provinces and their local francophone associations should pool their efforts and use immigration to improve their institutions and the vitality of those communities.
