The changes we keep making to our different programs, and the new initiatives that we introduce, are actually having an impact. I'm very proud of that.
We are laser-focused on the target. In fact, I've told my department that we intend to exceed the target. My parliamentary secretary, Serge Cormier, who is here today, has been working aggressively to offer suggestions not only on how we can have more accountability with respect to the target, but also in consulting francophone communities all over the country to make sure we get their ideas and feedback on what more we can do.
We've done Mobilité francophone. We've made numerous changes to express entry. There's the Atlantic program, and so on. The other remaining piece is more aggressive promotion of French-speaking newcomers who could potentially add to our skills base as a country.
Taken all together, you are already starting to see an increase from the stuff that we've implemented. However, to meet the target, we need to do more and are committed to doing more.
