This is the kind of initiative that should be implemented. We need to realize that, since the 1960s, action has been taken mainly in areas of federal jurisdiction. However, we realize that people live in areas under provincial jurisdiction and above all in the day-to-day. We need to find a way to ensure that French is not only an official language, but also a national language. In order to do this, communities and the federal government need to make a concerted effort to increase the visibility of the French language across Canada, particularly in regions where this language is weaker.
