Thank you kindly, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Lacroix, thank you for joining us today. I am excited to hear you talk about this platform that will be available to Canadians. Shining the spotlight on their stories, region by region, through a variety of projects, will help many Canadians learn more about our country and discover new places, bits of history and wonderful people. So I think you're on the right track in that respect.
At the beginning of your presentation, you said you wanted to celebrate both in English and in French, and I quite appreciate that. I was wondering, however, whether it might be possible to undertake projects involving both languages, programs for youth or a series of some sort, for example. Both English and French could be spoken, making the program equally suitable for CBC and Radio-Canada. A project like that could give more Canadians exposure to both official languages. It is rare indeed for someone who speaks English in their community to watch an entire program in French. The opposite is also true. But a program that is equally appealing to both anglophones and francophones would make both languages accessible to a broader range of Canadians.
