The Advisory Committee on Francophone Affairs today tabled its report on Francophone immigration, presenting a copy to Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross.

"On behalf of the Advisory Committee, I am pleased to present this report," Advisory Committee Chair Michel Dube said. "The recommendations are intended to guide the government in improving and expanding opportunities to maintain the demographic weight of Saskatchewan's francophones and ensure their vitality."

To prepare this report, members of the Advisory Committee met with Francophone stakeholders working in immigration and with officials from the Ministry of Immigration and Career Training.
