Thank you.
Clearly, we have a strong defender of official languages here.
The Action Plan for Official Languages 2018-2023 contains two new features. First, early childhood is recognized for the first time. For young people to continue to be part of a minority language community, they must be raised in the minority language from the outset, that is, from daycare. The same applies to kindergarten, primary and secondary school. This is fundamental to the sustainability of our language communities.
There is also the issue of immigration. For the first time, the importance of francophone immigration is recognized. This will make it possible to recruit, welcome and integrate francophone newcomers into our minority language communities, whether in Moncton, Winnipeg or elsewhere.
