Thank you, Mr. Chair.
General Maisonneuve, I'm delighted to hear your view that an anglophone is the best advocate for the French language. I'll say it in a mixture of the two languages. I think that I'm the poster child for an anglophone who learned French. I was lucky enough to be sent to a French school by my parents when I was a small child. Every day, I thank them for the gift that they gave me. I consider the opportunity to speak both languages a gift given to the people in the Canadian Armed Forces. I'll start by saying this.
I would like to dig a bit deeper into the personal experiences of the people who served.
Perhaps I'll start with you, Major Sauvé. Have you faced discrimination as a result of your language during your service? If so, how did it affect your career path?
