Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank all of the witnesses. Their comments interested me greatly.
One of the premises of our study is that our two official languages constitute an economic advantage. It is one of the objectives of our study.
My question is for all of the witnesses, beginning with my fellow citizen from Manitoba. Can you make some comments on the economic advantages of Canada's linguistic duality?
I thank you for your comments on the economic agreements. When we took power, only five trade agreements had been concluded. Now there are 43 which we have concluded with a large number of countries. Our efforts centre on job creation and economic growth. This is good for your students, Mr. Thibault.
Ms. Mulaire, can you tell us how the conclusion of such trade agreements strengthens our position in the world?
