Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to the witnesses for being here today.

Earlier we were discussing the unilingual Service Canada outlets in the Atlantic region. I am a francophone. If I come to a service outlet, would the front-line employees, the ones I speak to, be able to answer me in French without any problems because they are bilingual?
