Thank you, Mr. Chair.
What importance is given to the French language both at the recruitment stage and during a career, within the armed forces?
Many people have told us, rightly or wrongly, but probably with good reason, that the French language is a second‑class language, particularly in the context of training. Furthermore, when someone is transferred, they are often sent to a more anglophone area, where the services you were talking about are difficult to receive in French, both for the military member and for their family.
Are you willing to give the French language a greater place in the forces?
