I want to talk about this issue, since it has already been mentioned. As a Canadian francophone, I never like saying that I am a francophone outside Quebec: I am a French Canadian and an Acadian who celebrated, two years ago, the 400th anniversary of Acadia. We know where the Acadians stand. Since Quebec will celebrate its 400th anniversary in two years, this means that we were here first. Good! We are in agreement, and it's clear.
On December 5th, 2006. See this statement in context.
