Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I also want to thank the witnesses.
Since I am a native of British Columbia, I want to thank all the French speakers for their efforts to speak slowly and clearly. As an anglophone, I have been able to follow along perfectly.
Thank you, Ms. Villeneuve, for reminding us of the nightmare that occurred at École Polytechnique. If we do not remember the nightmares of the past, we will not be able to dream of a better future. And since we are talking about dreams and such, I am going to ask you a very tough question.
The roadmap is not necessarily intended to help your agencies and businesses flourish but rather to support your mission, which is to promote the use of the French language and, in minority communities, the use of the English language. Let's imagine that, in 50 years, everyone can speak both languages but government funding is less than it is today. How do you think you can fulfill your mission, in other words, promoting the use of French, without an increase in government funding?
Mr. Racine, could you give us two or three brief answers.
