Thank you, Chair, and thank you, witnesses, for being here.
Let me just put it on the record first that the recruitment strategy for CIC was not only in Europe, but it was also in Tunis, in Africa, on November 24 and 25. In a funny way, I think this whole situation is because of the fact that even in the francophone communities, the francophones are not staying there, and they're not staying there because of economic development in many cases. So I was delighted to hear from Mr. Dubé about their approach to it.
Madam Aden, you spoke about jobs, finding the jobs. We were at Bombardier and at Pratt & Whitney, and all these other companies in Montreal. They expected a growth of some 30% this year and had no idea where they were going to fill those positions from. These weren't just highly technical positions. There was everything, right across the spectrum.
I really want to see how you feel about what the role of the business sector should be in the recruitment and integration of francophone immigrants in Canada.
