Federal government seeks to boost French-speaking immigrants outside Quebec

Federal government seeks to boost French-speaking immigrants outside Quebec: "WINNIPEG (CP) - The federal government is hoping to increase the number of French-speaking immigrants who settle outside Quebec.
Immigration Minister Monte Solberg has announced a five-year plan that includes recruiting more francophone foreign students to schools such as the College Universitaire de St. Boniface in Winnipeg.
The plan also calls for new aid for francophone immigrant business owners in Winnipeg and other communities with a strong French-speaking population.
It's not clear how much new money will be spent, because the government says many initiatives can be covered by existing programs.
Federal figures from 2001 show 3.1 per cent of immigrants outside of Quebec were French-speaking.
Ottawa is hoping to boost that number to 4.4 per cent to match the current French-speaking population outside Quebec. "
