I'd like to take a step back to remind everyone that the French Language Services Commissioner of Ontario released a report showing that, even though immigrant women were not native French speakers, their children nevertheless spoke French in our francophone minority communities. We must therefore recognize that francophone women ensure that language is transmitted within the communities and that incredible work is being done in that regard.
That said, the migration path of immigrant women is a challenge, because each woman experiences a situation of her own, and integration is often done uniformly. No gender lens is applied to immigrant women's integration. They have no services tailored to their needs.
We've set forth recommendations. Sometimes it's as simple as ensuring that child care services are included in the services provided to women, or offering them at non-standard hours so that mothers can take advantage of them. The idea is to provide immigrant women with services tailored to their needs and to take into account the fact that migration pathways are changing. The needs of women today can change tomorrow. So we need to have a proactive system. Just because we did something yesterday doesn't mean we have to do the same thing for the next 15 years. We must always ensure that we adequately meet the needs of immigrant women, who ensure the vitality of our communities.
