Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank our guests for coming here today. As a francophone minority, I am even more delighted to see you here today. As I was saying earlier, I am a former Albertan living in Toronto now. We are sort of experiencing the same challenges, though they are not exactly the same.
I would also like to commend Saskatchewan on its recent economic strength in Canada. I think it is a strength. You now have more immigrants. This is adding to the number of francophones in Saskatchewan and also to the diversity of the French fact in Saskatchewan, I think.
Could you talk about the dynamic relationship between the francophonie in cities and the francophonie in more rural areas? Mr. Gourde talked earlier about the dynamics at the beginning of the century. How are things different in terms of needs and schools?
