Immigration is key to ensuring the vitality of French in Canada 

A reminder that immigration has more than economic objectives although legitimate debate regarding impact on skill levels and expected economic outcomes and impact on productivity:

Francophone immigrants, many of whom are “young, gifted and Black,” are les forces de l’avenir that will ensure the future of French outside Quebec – a future that reverberates with the splendour of French with intonations of Franglais, Lingala, Wolof, Arabic and all other tongues of our shared reality.

Francophone immigrants are not just rebuilding our declining demographics; they are reweaving the tapestry of our Francophonie. What is “top talent,” after all, if not the people who rebuild a culture?
