Thank you, Mr. Williamson.
I'm going to allow the question because the member has referenced francophone immigration in respect of Syria. We are here under two rubrics. One is the study, but there's also a motion to talk about how the department is meeting its commitments under part VII of the Official Languages Act.
I'll remind all members to make sure that they stick to the two rubrics under which we're conducting this hearing.
I'll allow Mr. Nicholls to continue.
