Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to our witnesses for being here today.
An official languages secretariat is impressive at first glance. You are definitely doing good work. You refer to relations with the communities, associations, and so on. That is good in theory. However, I do not think the results are there. You have been in your position since 2014, but this is 2016, and you are saying the target will be reached in 2018.
Could you help me understand how that will happen? The people who come here tell us they cannot go to Destination Canada any more. And yet, according to your remarks, that was one of the essential strategies, but that is not clear.
Moreover, as part of your strategy to achieve the 4.4% target, which you have not yet done, can you assure us you are making an effort to prevent people from limiting themselves to Vancouver, Toronto, and so on? What are you doing about the rural and urban aspect?
Lastly, as regards language, when anglophone immigrants arrive in Halifax, Nova Scotia, programs are available from International Service Learning. Do you have any language programs for francophones in Nova Scotia, for example? There are definitely allophones as well.
