Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for being here.
I'm very proud and happy to be participating in this morning's meeting.
Mr. Chair, exactly four years ago today, Quebec passed its state secularism law, the much talked-about Bill 21. At the time, some argued that it would affect immigration because certain people might not feel comfortable coming to Quebec and would choose to settle somewhere else in Canada.
I'm going to ask Alain Laberge, the executive director of the Franco-Manitoban school division, this question first.
Mr. Laberge, in the past four years—so since Quebec brought in its state secularism law—have you seen an impact on francophone immigration? I'm talking about people from Maghreb, other parts of Africa or other parts of the world who chose to settle somewhere other than Quebec because of Bill 21?
