It's a very important question. At the end of the day, I think you and I agree that international students make one of the best groups to become future citizens. They're young, they speak English or French, have studied in our institutions and are keen, so why would we not want them to stay? I'm happy to note that we're the first government in Canadian history to go around the world to recruit international students. My predecessor and I, as we have recruited international students to study in Canada, don't just ask them to come here to study. We say, “Come here to study, and if you'd like to stay, we want you to stay.” We deliberately send that signal.
We have made it easier for them to stay by various means. First, we've made changes to the express entry system to give more points to international students. You can see that the percentage of international students under the express entry system has grown. Second, we have given more points to French-language speakers under the express entry system. Combined with those two, an international student who demonstrates strong French-language skills has much higher odds of getting picked up by the express entry system now, as opposed to before.
Those changes are having an impact. As I said in my speech, the changes we've made under the express entry system to give more points to francophone applicants has already doubled the number of successful people who have come through that system. That's very encouraging. We need to do more, but we've already done a lot.
