Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Today, my esteemed colleague and the Bloc Québécois science and innovation critic, Mr. Maxime Blanchette-Joncas, is at the Quebec City Convention Centre to attend the Semaine mondiale de la Francophonie organized by the Quebec government in cooperation with the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie.
Mrs. Poncelin de Raucourt or Mr. Colleret, in your opinion, what types of initiative can the federal government take to ensure the vitality and promotion of research and scientific production in French, in Quebec and in francophone communities outside Quebec?
