Right now, we get $29 million for the francophone immigration project. That budget is going to be increased by about a third, so we're going to get another $5 million this fiscal year, another $5 million next year, and another $10 million each year after that. So our budget is increasing from about $30 million to $40 million a year.
The bulk of that money, meaning $36 million of the $40 million over five years, will go towards communities with service providers that offer language training, connections with employers, bridging programs to support newly arrived immigrants until they start a job, integration assistance for communities, or any other comparable local services.
How can our success be measured? First and foremost, we will have made a lot of progress towards the target of 4.4%. Next, we will be able to say that we've been successful if the vast majority of these people stay in official language minority communities, meaning francophone communities outside of Quebec.
