I simply want to add something about clients.
Mr. Alexander referred to immigrants and international students. These people represent many of the clients in our 21 francophone colleges and universities across Canada. There are also many clients from francophone and immersion schools. All these clients will become bilingual graduates who are able to provide services in both official languages.
That's why we're asking for a larger investment in the multi-year action plan for official languages, which will cover the next five years. In the past 10 years, this action plan has maintained the status quo in terms of funding. The funding we're discussing must come from this plan. Larger investments are needed for us to be able to train professionals who can give all Canadians not only services in French, but services in both official languages.
