Given the agreement that Canada has just signed with the countries of Europe, I feel that our bilingual workforce will increasingly be an asset for Canada. We can do business internationally with a number of countries in the Francophonie.
In another context, international students come to study in our universities and, in many cases, we want them to stay in Canada as economic immigrants. They are often viewed positively by the government as potential Canadian citizens who will participate in Canada’s economic life. That is a way in which we increase our bilingual workforce.
