Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning ma'am, good morning, gentlemen. Thank you for being here today to answer our questions.
As you can see, we are concerned, and we are wondering if linguistic duality will indeed be respected during the upcoming Olympic Games in Vancouver. It really doesn't matter where these concerns come from, as Mr. Galipeau was saying, this feeling may be due to the bitter taste that was left in our mouths after the festivities that were held at the beginning of the year.
As far as I am concerned, today I have a new concern, in addition to the ones I had already when you said, following your presentation, that the only power you had was to raise your partners' awareness.
Representatives of more than 30 French-speaking countries will be arriving in Vancouver. Even before they get to the Olympic site, signage will be a very important factor. So agreements will be to be established with the municipalities and the province about this.
If your only power is to raise awareness, how can you make sure that there will be bilingual signs everywhere in Vancouver? Do you have a strategy to raise awareness? What measures will you take to achieve that goal?
