Good morning and welcome.
I want to say that as a Canadian I was thrilled to see in your allocution what you said about this historical moment. I'm just going to read it again for members, because I got goosebumps when you said it. I'm going to say it in English: “This is the very first time in the history of the Olympic Games that a country has included provisions in this type of agreement that deal with respect for official languages. I believe that Canada can be proud of this step forward.”
Thank you for bringing that to our attention. I hadn't realized just how involved Canada was in making this historic moment a reality.
I'm going to ask you a question in French, if I may. When did the Canadian government begin considering the official language obligations for organizing the games and what steps have been taken?
