Good morning, and thank you to the witnesses for being with us today.
My colleague across the way had mentioned that in Quebec we're lucky that we have institutions that protect the French language, that it's much more of a struggle outside Quebec, and that we need to push even harder outside Quebec in order for francophone Canadians to have the same rights.
Obviously, there's a minority group in Quebec as well, and it's the anglophone minority group. They don't necessarily always have the same rights, and the fact that this has recently happened in Ontario sets a precedent for what could happen in other provinces as well. If provincial governments are not on the same page as the federal government or do not feel that everybody's rights are equal, they may push for these things to happen there as well.
I'd like you to talk to us more generally about the importance of educational institutions at all levels in order to preserve a language within a given province and to give the same rights to minority linguistic groups.
