Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Fraser, I would like to address the question of the importance of linguistic duality and official languages in Canada.
A recent survey by the office of the official languages commissioner suggested that support for bilingualism in Canada has gone from 56% three years ago to 72% today. You can see the success in this, for example, with immersion programs in Alberta and British Columbia, which had a stark increase in support, or summer language programs. I know I took some when I was a university student, and they've become increasingly popular.
What is your assessment of the progress of these different initiatives to promote the learning of a second language in Canada?
