The entire immigration program as a whole was cancelled. Manitoba managed a portfolio for a long time. I would remind you that, until 2003, we managed the structure of Accueil francophone and that our contribution agreements were signed by the Province of Manitoba. That funding was withdrawn from the province, as a result of which we are now signing our contribution agreements directly with the federal government, with IRCC. The province thus does not have enough resources to manage the portfolio. In spite of everything, the candidate recruitment program is still in existence, but the province does not have enough resources to do everything it would like to do.
On October 6th, 2016. See this statement in context.
