Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Sudbury for her question. I am very proud today to announce to the House that our government met the target of 4.4% francophone immigration outside Quebec in 2022. Indeed, 16,300 francophone newcomers have settled outside Quebec. This represents a 450% increase since our government was first elected. This is just the beginning. There is still work to be done to continue to promote French in Canada, and that is what we continue to do.
