Justification

Le polimètre considère cette promesse comme étant toujours en suspens, puisque les dernières données disponibles ne nous permettent pas d’évaluer la promesse. Pour l’instant, 53% des immigrants établis au Nouveau-Brunswick avant 2015 y élisaient toujours domicile en 2019.

The Polimeter has not yet rated this pledge, as the latest available data does not allow us to do so. 53% of immigrants who settled in New Brunswick before 2015 were still residents of the province in 2019.
