All right.
They stem from the aspirations of the people who speak one of those two official languages: French. They stem from the willingness of people to do millions of hours of volunteer work to improve the situation of their communities and to help reinforce French in their respective provinces. They stem from a desire to take part in the transformation of a Canadian society in which the two official languages can peacefully coexist. Minority francophones do not want to live outside the majority, quite to the contrary.
Will the Parliament of Canada, urged on you, have the political courage to do a reset to celebrate 50 years of bilingualism? Can we hope to see actions that go beyond the concept of a roadmap? Will the official language communities be part that celebration? How can we prevent 2019 from being a testament to an unfinished policy? Let's aim for a reset, a modernization of the wording of these acts together with monitoring mechanisms and real measures of success.
Thank you for your attention, and I'll be happy to take your questions.
