I would like to thank both of you for your presentation. It's really very rewarding. This is allowing us to continue our reflection on the modernization of the Official Languages Act and our report, which will come eventually.
My first question is for Mr. Jedwab.
You mentioned the importance of continuing to increase the number of people in the bilingual community, that is, people who speak both French and English. You also mentioned that our identity profile is changing. It has changed a lot over the years. Some people are bilingual, but do not necessarily speak French and English.
Perhaps you were here earlier when the Commissioner mentioned that it would have been important for a forum of federal, provincial and territorial first ministers to be held to highlight this linguistic duality, to encourage people to celebrate it together and to reach out to people who speak both official languages.
What do you think? Do you see other ways to promote Canadian bilingualism?
