It's going to be absolutely essential to properly fund this policy, up to a few tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars, through separate programs that will meet the immigration needs of the communities, with the leverage and powers required for francophone communities to select whom they want. An economic program is needed to meet the labour needs of Canada's francophone communities. You also discussed resources for the communities to do promotional work abroad, and also to build capacity for processing visas abroad. At the moment, the office in Dakar is overwhelmed. It processes visas from 16 or 17 sub-Saharan African countries, most of which are francophone. We need to rethink the country's francophone immigration policy from A to Z. We need a policy, the resources, and the leverage to take action.
We have never done these three things, and that's why we have failed.
