Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank the witnesses very much for being here with us today.
I would like to quote a paragraph from an article that was published in Le Voyageur, a francophone newspaper in my region of northern Ontario. The article says in substance that the last Statistics Canada census indicates that more than a million immigrants chose Canada as their new home during this five-year period, and that half of them opted for Ontario as the location to start their new life in North America. However, less than one percent of these newcomers settled north of the 46th parallel.
In this case, I am talking about northern Ontario, but I am sure the situation is about the same in all the provinces. Can you tell me how this could affect the other provinces, especially Saskatchewan and northern Ontario? Would you have any comments to make in this regard?
