Thank you, Mr. Lacroix, for joining us today.
As a francophone in Quebec, I know that in our province we are not facing this problem, given that everyone in Quebec speaks French. On the other hand, I'm a bit alarmed when I'm told that Windsor will be doing away with programs that are intended for francophones in southern Ontario, and that in Thompson, in northern Manitoba, programs primarily for first nations audiences will be cancelled and that probably 336 jobs will be cut within the French-language services.
What do you intend to do to protect the cultural identity of French-speaking communities, both in Quebec and throughout the country?
