If you don't mind, Mr. Godin, I would like to make the point that Dawson was founded by a Francophone. During the gold rush, there were a lot of Francophones. By 1950, there weren't any left; the rate of assimilation in the Yukon was 100%. Since 1984, we have started counting them again. The situation here is precisely that. The assimilation rate is 100% and it's important to understand that. In the territories, the rate of assimilation is 100%, but we are in the process of rebuilding our communities.
