The reason I'm pleased with the bill is that it would help protect the demographic weight of francophones in Canada. I think that's key in promoting French culture.
I agree with you on one point. It's essential that we get more power, that we allow greater flexibility in the express entry system.
The express entry system has shown itself to be very powerful. When we increased the points for francophone and bilingual newcomers, it doubled the success rate of people to come here. If we pair those extra points with flexibility so we can find the people in our inventory and get them to the communities where they're going to succeed, and then additionally fund settlement agencies, I think we can do very, very well.
