Mr. Chair, I agree with my colleague René Arseneault. I think we need to know a bit about what the rules of the game are right now, where we are at, what the rules are in terms of immigration in linguistic minority settings in Canada, what the strategy is, what the statistics are over the past 10 years, and what the challenges we still have to address are.
Immigration came up a lot just in the comments we have heard around the table. We have to ensure that we are in fact talking about immigration in linguistic minority settings. I think this is the responsibility of the Standing Committee on Official Languages.
Some people in my riding are from Africa. Of course, they are francophones who came to live in a minority region. They have experienced difficulties, as well as successes.
I agree that we want to call witnesses who will share with us their experience on the ground. At the same time, we have to make sure that, when we talk about the situation with immigration, it has to do with minority communities. That is what the work of the Standing Committee on Official Languages is about.
