Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
This year, it will be 39 years since I enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. I think we need to make a distinction when it comes to the work environment. When Quebeckers work in Quebec, they are obviously in their environment. At 5 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group in Valcartier, French is typically spoken. Where it gets complicated is when you have to be transferred outside Quebec, when you receive a promotion or when you're not in Quebec.
In short, what we need to remember today is that, when you're a francophone soldier from Quebec and you work outside Quebec, things get complicated.
Ms. Chouinard, in 2020, you mentioned that the real problem with bilingualism in the army was the lack of language training. In my time, there were courses at the Canadian Forces Language School. We went there for a number of months.
Is that still the case today? Is there still a lack of training? What is the situation?
