Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
The Citizenship and Immigration Canada—Francophone Minority Communities Steering Committee is proposing a new definition of what a francophone immigrant is:
A French-speaking immigrant is an immigrant whose mother tongue is French, or whose first official language is French if the mother tongue is a language other than French or English.
Last week, we spoke with witnesses about the importance of the terms used to identify francophones. In view of this definition, what do you do about individuals who use both official languages equally, those who have a francophone and an anglophone parent? How do you classify them?
