First, to put things into context, I should say that the face of the francophonie is changing. Immigration is certainly boosting the number of French speakers and making the francophonie more vibrant, but it is also presenting a number of challenges, hence the importance of action research, which involves being able to determine the issues and then put in place programs that deal with those issues.
I would like to give the floor to Mr. Boudreau so that he can round out my answer.
