Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to the witnesses for being here this morning.

My first question is for Mr. Robillard, from the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency.

The goal of your agency is obviously to develop the economy in Canada's high north. Are you paying special attention to francophone communities? And what extra effort has the roadmap enabled you to make, in your agency, for those francophone communities?
