There are probably several reasons for that, but I am not the proper person to answer you. I would invite you to put these questions to the immigration specialists.
At the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages for New Brunswick, we wonder whether the immigration practices of both levels of government—federal and provincial—are maintaining the respective demographic weight of the communities. That is the issue we are looking at.
As to whether there is enough money, and whether people arrive, leave or do not arrive, the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages for New Brunswick does not have the necessary expertise to answer those questions. We do not look at these issues. These questions would be better put to those who work in the immigration area.
In my opinion, the results are not very positive. I have taken some steps. I wrote to both ministers and met with them. I'm continuing to work with my colleague Graham Fraser. We have issued press releases. We have encouraged both levels of government to adopt a framework agreement for New Brunswick so that both levels of government can work together to increase the 12% figure, which has remained the same for several years. We have to attract more francophones so that this reflects the demographic weight of our community.
That is all I have to say on that topic. As to why this has not been a success, others besides me may have things to say to you about that.
