Thank you, Chair. I will be quick, because I'd like to leave some of my time for our friend Brenda Shanahan.
Ms. Prince-St-Amand, we know that you work with minority francophone communities to find new measures that could increase the number of francophone immigrants. The main objective of the program is to retain new francophone workers in minority francophone communities, and that often happens through employment.
I have several questions for you. I hear nightmarish stories about the equivalencies that professional bodies establish for people who come from abroad and settle in places like New Brunswick. I won't cite any specific cases, but I could tell you about a few.
I know you don't have jurisdiction over all this. It's the beauty of our vast and beautiful federation that some things fall under provincial jurisdiction, and some things fall under federal jurisdiction. That said, is the problem a recurring irritant in retaining new francophones in minority communities?
