Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning, Mr. Trudel.
The Fédération des francophones de la Colombie-Britannique forwarded a brief to the Standing Committee on Official Languages which is entitled: “THE 2010 VANCOUVER OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC WINTER GAMES, APRIL 27, 2009”. On page 4 of the brief, which is dated April 27, 2009, you make the following statement:
In airports and even on Olympic sites, the presence of French is often still secondary and at times appears to be deemed an irritant that would sooner be forgotten.
Can you provide additional details in that regard?
