Thank you, Madam Chair.
The issue of the north, which we're discussing today, is of great interest to me, particularly when it comes to northeastern Ontario. That's where my parents and grandparents came from, and they did a lot of business there.
I'm very interested to see how francophones have played an important role in northern Ontario for many decades. They play a critical role in its economic development. You said that they represented 24% of francophones in the province, if I'm not mistaken, Ms. Perreault.
How is the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario, or FedNor, helping businesses in northern Ontario to succeed and prosper, both in the region and elsewhere?
