Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Corbeil.

The questions are very interesting. In your document, you say that, in 2006, there were, in Canada outside Quebec, 185,675 children between 5 and 17 years of age with at least one French-mother-tongue parent. Knowing that Canada now has 35 million people, it seems to me that that figure is not very high. Am I mistaken about that?
