Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am going to ask my questions in English.
My daughter, who is in grade 1, is in the fortunate position to be completing her first year in French immersion. She's well served by an exceptional teacher who actually remains a resident of Quebec and travels to Ontario, and has done that for over 25 years, to teach in a board in my community. She's an exceptional teacher. I'll send her this transcript.
Monsieur Leclair, I've heard a few times about the shortage, and I certainly see it in my own community. I see that at your previous appearance your organization, as one of its five recommendations, suggested a national campaign to promote second language teaching. Before the federal government engages in something like that, is there anything being done at the provincial level in provinces where the shortage exists?
I'm also wondering if your organization is involved in any of those existing provincial initiatives.
