I don't think it means that multiculturism failed. It just means that we have to do more to combat racism and the ethnocentric attitudes prevalent in Canada.

Edit:

Actually, looking at the results, it paints a much more positive picture. It says that more than half of 2nd generation visible minorities identify as "Canadian", and less than half of 2nd generation visible minorities said they experience discrimination (black people being the only group over 50%). That's a sign that over a generation, they are becoming more integrated.

I admit that it is not perfect, but we can work on it. It certainly isn't hopeless.
