Thank you for the question, honourable member.
The meeting that we had in Moncton in late March was pivotal, because we all agreed, provincially and federally, that we should cooperate and collaborate with respect not just to the integration of settlement services but also the promotion work so that we can attract more francophone immigrants into Canada. One way we want to speed up that work is that, instead of having those meetings every two years, we agreed to meet once a year so that we can coordinate more.
We have been working with the groups that are engaged in the attraction, and we commit to making sure we work with them on promotion. As I said, in terms of our skilled immigrant stream, the economic immigrant side, as a department we want to make sure that all promotional efforts include and expand the opportunities to market to francophone immigrants and attract them to Canada. Our pilots are also helping in that regard—for example the Atlantic immigration pilot program—and I've spoken about the other changes.
Broadly speaking, even for the attraction of international students, when I travel outside of Canada I try to sell Canada as a great destination for international students because of our world-class universities and colleges, but also our research hubs. I make sure that I also emphasize the fact that we have vibrant francophone institutions that support French-speaking international students. The response, I'm hoping, will be much higher than in the past.
