Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Hello, Mr. Boivin.
I am happy to have you here as a witness before the committee. As my friend Mr. Arseneault pointed out earlier, I know that francophone jurists have to work very hard, to travel, and so forth. I know an expression from the education field. As an Acadian or a francophone in a minority community, you have to go to bed later and get up earlier to survive. You can quote me on that.
You spoke in detail about how to influence people in the area in question. I am interested to know what role you play in recruiting francophone immigrants to Canada. That is one stage. Perhaps you play no role at all, I don't know. I would like to know if you play a role at that stage.
Moreover, once they come to Canada, what role do you play to get them interested in living in French and then using services in French? Those are my two questions.
To place this in context, a great many refugees have come to Canada. Does your association play some role in influencing and attracting people to Canada? Do the organizations in question make efforts in the relevant provinces?
Third, are these organizations helping with refugee integration or in the use of services? I know it is rather complex.
