When Michael Spindelegger, Austria’s current vice-chancellor and foreign minister, came to Canada a few years ago, he returned to Austria full of ideas about immigration and integration, some of which have since become Austrian law. […] “One consequence of what he saw here is that, since the elections we had last year and the new government, for the first time ever, there’s a junior minister for integration who works on an interdisciplinary basis,” the ambassador said. The minister looks at integration in the work-place, in schools and in communities in general.
