Thank you for the question, Mr. Godin, and the kind words.
You've really teed it up for us in terms of an opportunity here to share something with you. I think there are some easy practical ones which we wouldn't want to make the key recommendation. For example, I think the enabling fund is a very clear one, very straightforward and very easy to make as a recommendation. Input from all stakeholders is very key as one of the areas. The research element as well is very key.
A more challenging one and a more fundamental one, and I think the one which members of the committee should consider, is that the Government of Canada must recognize the considerable and undervalued potential of Canada's official language minority communities as engines for economic growth and job creation.
I'll come back to the statement I made earlier that investments in economic and human resource development within Canada's OLMCs should not be recognized as merely a matter of legislative obligation.
This is an important point, but rather to the contrary, it's important to recognize it as a contribution to Canada's long-term prosperity.
It's a big recommendation, but I think as politicians and policy-makers, you're in a position to make a statement that should influence and cascade everywhere else through the government.
