The FCFA of Canada is the spokesgroup for francophone and acadian communities. For each province and territory outside Quebec, there are, it goes without saying, similar associations. Those organizations are similar to ours and carry out similar work in each of these respective provinces.
In addition, we group ten national organizations dedicated to development of a specific sector. The Commission nationale des parents francophones [national commission of francophone parents] is one of our members, in addition to other associations that focus on health, justice, literacy, and so on and so forth. In other words, we currently regroup 21 organizations, which in turn regroup other associations working within the province and territory where francophones live. In the membership of our organizations, there are many francophiles, people like you who are interested in living in French and in some cases receiving services in French.
Currently, outside Quebec, 2.4 million people speak French and approximately one million people have French as their mother tongue. We are talking about French-language schools for entitled persons, those who had French as a first language, those who want access to a French-language school even if they currently speak English—
