Good afternoon, Minister. Welcome to our committee. Congratulations on your new position.
Francophone immigration was discussed earlier. You aren't the Minister of Immigration, but you have an influence on francophone immigration.
Unless I'm mistaken, the 4.4% francophone immigration target was reached last year, and many organizations and communities now want to see that target raised because French is still in decline across Canada. Would you be able to encourage Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship to raise the targets both to offset that decline and to help restore the francophonie across Canada?
