I can say honestly that I took part in consultations this week with the Department of Citizenship and Immigration on how to better work with the department to improve francophone economic immigration. I can say that there has been a change. I firmly believe that this change has been happening for a few months, if not a year and a half. The department is connecting with the community.
Are there enough consultations? The consultations have indeed taken place, but it's in the action, the policies and the programs that we can see what kind of influence these consultations have had. In the coming years, we'll see just how seriously we were taken during these consultations. We will see what kind of impact we will have to improve the services provided to our fellow Canadians and to our businesses to increase the number of francophone immigrants to the country.
