It is always a pleasure to see you again.
With regard to Mr. Galipeau's remarks, our first task on the Standing Committee on Official Languages and for the minister is to promote the two official languages.
I would like to talk a bit about your comment on the situation of newcomers.
When they arrive in Quebec, whether from Canada or elsewhere, there are provincial provisions requiring that newcomers must ensure their children are educated in French. There is not really any such provision in the rest of Canada.
So, first, how can we promote French in the rest of Canada? Newcomers will probably learn English first because that is the language of the majority in the rest of Canada. How will we promote the benefits of learning French as a second language or even as a third language in their community?
