Liberal on Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship

Replying to Giovanna Mingarelli (Liberal)
“Mr. Speaker, this week, Canadians across the country are celebrating National Francophone Immigration Week. Francophone immigrants contribute so much to our economy, our communities and our culture. Francophone immigration plays an essential role in strengthening francophone communities outside Quebec and in preserving our proud bilingual identity. Can the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship tell the House what our government is doing to attract more francophone immigration to Canada?”

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her commitment to francophone communities in Canada. Thanks to our investments and programs, we have exceeded our targets outside Quebec for the past four years, and we will continue to help communities attract and retain francophone talent to build a stronger Canada. This National Francophone Immigration Week, let us thank all of our partners who work every day to enrich our communities.
