I read the ministerial conference's summary on the presentation made in 2006. I note two very important points. In it, they note common issues and challenges affecting francophone communities across Canada.
I'm going to mention those two points to you. Mr. Cayen and Mr. Jourdain, since you are the representatives of that organization today, I'd like to hear your comments on this point. They mention “a precarious and uncertain demographic future, which raises serious concerns”. This is one of the factors appearing in your document. The other is “an increasingly fragile perception of identity and feeling of belonging, along with linguistic erosion”.
Could you clarify your thinking on those matters?
