Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
I have a couple of questions, but first of all a couple of comments. Of course, France is Canada's fifth- or sixth-largest trading partner, I think. In fact France made one of the largest investments in Canada in Total, the oil and gas company that's located in my riding, I'm very proud to say. In my riding as well is the oldest francophone community in Alberta, Plamondon, which is full of francophones.
