As the minister mentioned in his speech, we have created a policy focus, a francophone immigration hub, in the settlement and integration sector, particularly in the settlement and integration policy branch, which I manage. The objective is this. Whether we're working with francophone service provider organizations across the country, or our provincial and territorial colleagues, or with employers to attempt to convince them of the benefits of hiring bilingual newcomers, as well as working within our span of programming from promotion or recruitment to selection, integration, retention, and targeted outcomes, the objective is to ensure that we're doing all of that work in a coordinated way, so that the left hand knows what the right hand is doing. That is the reason we've put in place this francophone hub in the department.
