Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the minister for agreeing to appear before the committee on such short notice, since we had to spend so much time negotiating and adopting the motion.
I want to congratulate you, Minister. On March 28, I said I'd be happy if you could meet the objectives that had been set, particularly since you and I have a shared Scottish heritage. In my case, it's the name of my riding, whereas you have a Scottish surname, like many of your fellow citizens.
You mentioned your parliamentary secretary, who's a Franco-Ontarian, and I know that Franco-Ontarians work in your office, even though they come from the north—I have to back my riding here. I bet they're lawyers sensitive to the importance of achieving francophone immigration objectives.
It seems to me you said you had exceeded the 4% target, didn't you?
