Thank you, Ms. Joly.
I'll now turn to Mr. Hussen.
Mr. Hussen, you said that an immigration policy has already been established “to increase the demographic weight of official language minority communities,” as requested in recommendation 10 of the committee's report.
When thousands of Syrians arrived in the country, how is it that nothing was planned or prepared for their arrival, official language communities weren't consulted, and communities across Canada realized they weren't ready to handle the refugees? In New Brunswick, for example, a complaint was filed with the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages, which responded that the communities weren't ready and that nothing had been done. As a result, the complaint was founded. The government must now ensure that, when refugees are directed to certain locations, the communities are consulted.
Have you done your work? Have you established a policy in order to consult everyone who deals with immigration, within the communities, when refugees arrive in Canada?
