Mr. Speaker, ensuring the vitality of francophone communities outside Quebec is a priority for our government. Immigration is an essential and powerful tool for achieving that goal.
Thanks to the immigration targets planned for 2025‑27, francophone permanent residents will account for 8.5% of all permanent residents admitted to Canada outside Quebec in 2025, 9.5% in 2026 and 10% in 2027. These targets reflect our commitment to ensuring the growth of francophone and Acadian minority communities and are consistent with our francophone immigration policy.
I am proud to be part of a government that helps our communities grow and prosper. This is good news.
