Ask the Experts
Question: The Canadian census of 2006 reports that 16.2% of the Canadian population are members of a visible minority. This represents one in six Canadians. By 2017, Statistics Canada predicts that Canada's visible minority population will number 1 in 5. What implications does this development have for public policy on immigration, integration and diversity? What should policy makers be attending to?
Answers:  Randall Hansen, , Dan Heibert, , Annick Germain

also between 2000 and 2005." Why is this happening and can we expect the trend to slow or to
continue?
