Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank the witnesses for being here this morning.
Mr. Arsenault, you mentioned some very interesting numbers. You said there are 30,000 people of francophone origin on Prince Edward Island. Approximately 5,600 people continue to speak French, representing approximately 4% of the population. However, there are also 10,000 to 12,000 francophiles, that is to say, people who have learned to speak French. There are therefore more than twice as many francophiles as there are francophones.
Is the situation approximately the same in Manitoba?
