Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, Mr. St-Pierre and Ms. Bourque.
A little earlier, you drew my attention to a point that has already been raised in our history books. You talked about presence and you cited a very concrete example: the French Embassy provides you with support for your francophonie film festival. You explained what this involved in a nutshell. If I'm not mistaken, the French presence is strong in the Yukon especially because of religious communities that worked with the Déné tribes. They were there long before you, the francophones who came from Quebec.
The French Embassy seems to be very close to your organization because it seems to provide you with assistance. Does it help you financially? I'm trying to understand how it helps you. How does the French Embassy intervene? It represents a francophone country, but it's not Canada. You are after all in the Yukon, not in Quebec. I'd like to know if this aid is due to a very strong French presence there. Many religious communities evangelized the Yukon, especially the Déné tribes. I read that in history books. Perhaps you could correct me if I am wrong. Is that why the French Embassy helps you? And how else does it help you apart from the film festival?
