Just quickly on the issue.... There's been a lot of conversation. I mean, we're here to listen to you, not so much to espouse our political views from our end. However, I do just want to flag for common understanding that what's been done has been talked about as an Atlantic Canadian policy. It's really a Canada-wide policy, but of course, it affects Atlantic Canada more than anybody else. That's the first thing I would say.
The second thing is that it's a temporary carve-out. I think that's an important nuance. It's not dismissing any of the feedback that we've gotten on that aspect of things. I just wanted to flag that so that the facts are clear as we walk out of here.
Ms. Lachance, I am going to go back to my earlier question.
The francophonie is important. In my opinion, it involves both a cultural and an economic aspect. We also have a duty to French as an official language. Could you add to your earlier answer to the question of why it is important to protect French and support the francophone community?
