Good afternoon. I'm Alain Desruisseaux, the director general of Francophone Immigration, at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. I'm responsible for all aspects of the department's strategic frameworks and broad policy frameworks for francophone immigration and for working in partnership with all our partners within the government, since this is a horizontal commitment that involves all departments.
We also have responsibilities that relate more specifically to francophone immigration settlement programs. As a result, the francophone integration pathway is also our responsibility.
Community engagement is at the heart of our activities and guides all of our thinking, whether in the development of policies or programs.
