I would like to go back to the question regarding data collected through the International Household Survey. There is a risk that the data collected there may not be reliable. Earlier I gave as an example the exercise we did to determine how many immigrants from Quebec settle each year in Alberta. However that figure is two times lower than the one indicated by the statistics in our francophone reception and settlement centres. This means that these data are not providing accurate information. Even if there are cases of assimilation, we will not be able to identify them if we use that data collection tool.
As for your colleague's question on the Francophone Significant Benefit Program, its termination puts us at a huge disadvantage. Indeed, as I was saying earlier, it was like a carrot that encouraged employers to hire temporary foreign workers.
Among the mobilization efforts we made, there were liaison tours in cooperation with the FCFA and the Canadian Embassy in France. We invited employers to come to an information session. Now, however, when we invite them, they answer politely that they are very busy, but we can see that they are no longer interested.
In short, this incentive we had has unfortunately disappeared. There is now no longer any incentive to really allow them to benefit from economic immigration, which is the current trend.
