First of all, I think Canada has an important role to play in the international Francophonie. You are absolutely right and, as minister responsible for the international Francophonie, I thank you for your work.
At the last congress of the Organisation internationale de la francophonie (OIF), we were able to demonstrate how our government can play a leadership role on this issue. We talked about the importance of protecting the French fact on the Internet. We are currently working with France and various countries to come up with concrete solutions to protect the French fact on the Internet.
In his speech to the OIF, President Macron recognized Canada's leadership in this area. That's good news.
On your more specific question, I think it would be worth having that conversation. There has rarely been a link between the international Francophonie and the Canadian Francophonie in our legislation. However, from one government to the next, Canada has always recognized the importance of promoting the international Francophonie. I think it would be worth having that conversation. I see it in a very positive light.
Let us remember that OIF is the second largest organization in terms of membership after the United Nations. In this sense, it is a very credible organization that we want to continue strengthening because, as a country and as a government, we have said that we want to strengthen our multilateral organizations and Canada's presence in the world. We are part of the international Francophonie and the Commonwealth, the two great networks that distinguish us as a country.
