Absolutely. That is one of the reasons why we are here.
If I may, very quickly, I would like to sum up our position. The Franco-Ontarian literature available is amazing, but the demand is not there. That is not because people do not want to ask for it; it is because there is no channel to encourage and create the demand in schools.
When our publishers want to place their products in Franco-Ontarian bookstores, they face competition from a very significant number of other publishers, from Quebec, from France or from elsewhere. By contrast, we are relatively few in number. So long as there is no active way to tell Franco-Ontarians, or others who speak French in our province, that we have great Franco-Ontarian books, sales will continue to fail to meet our expectations and bookstores will continue to close.
As you know, our bookstores can buy their books anywhere. It does not work the other way around. French-language bookstores in Quebec cannot buy their books from us because of Quebec's Bill 51. So there is a kind of imbalance between the demand on both sides and the book policy we would like to see.
We do not yet know if our proposal to our provincial government is going to involve a restrictive public purchasing policy or if we are going to opt for a very proactive approach like New Brunswick's. But we would like a public purchasing policy that would allow the Librairie Champlain, and all the others, to remain open.
