Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the representatives of the Commissioner's office for being here this morning. Once again, it was an excellent presentation. It did a good job of putting into context what we are trying to do for the celebrations for the 150th anniversary.
Mr. Commissioner, I would like to hear your comments on the recent census and on Statistics Canada's analysis showing that the francophone population outside Quebec is doing quite well. We note that certain forces are impossible to overlook, such as birth rate and immigration from a number of countries.
Will that influence how we are going to celebrate the 150th anniversary? In Toronto, you do see this in the streets. Immigrants come from a wide array of countries. Even the francophone population is made up more and more of African immigrants. Will this new wave of francophone immigrants influence how we celebrate francophonie in Canada?
