It is clear that the colleges and universities of the Canadian francophonie occupy a unique place and play a critical leadership role in the communities they serve and in Canada as a whole.
By supporting the colleges and universities of the Canadian francophonie, the federal government can achieve the productivity and competitiveness goals set out in the 2018 budget and fulfill its vision of official languages that prioritizes bilingualism and community vitality.
Thank you for the invitation.
My colleagues Mr. Mocquais and Ms. Brouillette and I will be pleased to take your questions.
