Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
At the outset, I have two or three brief comments to make. The number of francophones also went up in Quebec. The increase may not have been proportional, but in absolute figures, their numbers also increased in Quebec.
I am specifically addressing my friends from the Bloc Québécois and Mr. Nadeau because Mr. Gravel is not present. We can be friends and get along well even though we do not belong to the same party.
Regarding the latest published study that refers to the language spoken at home, I would advise you to be very careful with this, because if we go by this study, I myself am not a francophone. Notwithstanding my great love for French and notwithstanding the fact that my father always insisted on my speaking French outside the home, we grew up speaking Spanish at home. Thus, I am totally excluded from this study.
I hope that we will pay close attention to these things because they can seriously divide a society.
Mr. Lussier, earlier you referred to the fact that more money was allocated to francophones. Do we have any percentages?
