Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for being here this afternoon.
We have two good examples of young anglophones who made the decision, when they were young, to learn the other official language. Is that not so, Ms. Perkins and Mr. Cooke? I'm sure that you made that decision when you were young. They are both good examples of what we are trying to do here, in our country.
Do you have any ideas about what we could do, during the 150th anniversary celebrations, to encourage young people to decide, as you did in the past, to learn the other official language? Be it French or English, there is no difference. Is there something that we could do during the celebrations to encourage young people to learn the other official language, to make them understand that it's cool, as you say?
We will start with Ms. Perkins.
