Diversity is no longer a matter of choice in Saskatchewan. We take in so many immigrants that it's become a commitment. The vitality and sustainability of language and culture depend on this wave of immigrants that's arriving in Saskatchewan, and that concerns the schools. It comes with an added value but also with its share of issues.
Yesterday, the minister made a statement about pre-departure services. A wave of excitement would break if we could determine who the new immigrants are and where they're arriving. These statistics help us do a better job of laying the groundwork.
