Thank you, Mr. Chair. You have reached Nova Scotia. You have had quite a trip today.
Madam Minister, thank you for your presentation. My thanks also to your colleagues for being here. I found that your presentation was good in going over the situation we have known about for a year.
I have three major questions. The first is simple but important.
Your title is now Minister of Tourism, Official Languages and La Francophonie. That means the francophonie in Canada and the international francophonie. Tell me about the importance that the government has attached to the role, both at home and abroad.
