Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for their contributions to this committee meeting.
My first question is for Mr. Mohamadou Sarr.
You mentioned that two-thirds of the students remain in Canada after they graduate. I think that's a development tool. I am not using the expression in the pejorative sense, quite the contrary. The capacity to attract students strengthens immigration, because these are people who will stay here after graduation. If we are going to target one group in particular, we might as well focus on people who are going to stay here.
How can we attract more students? Can you make a few suggestions for us? The fact remains the same. I was saying to the first group of witnesses that we all know that francophone immigration has been a major problem for several years now. What we want right now is to find solutions and prepare a report.
Can you, Mr. Sarr, give us one or two recommendations on how to be more effective at attracting more students?
