Patrick Witwicki Executive Director, Association des francophones et francophiles du Nord-Ouest

Thank you, Mr. Chair and distinguished members of the committee.

I am a Francophile and the executive director of AFFNO. I am a good example, I believe, of the importance of French immersion. I was in a French immersion program until I graduated.

Today, we have the choice to do our presentation in English or in French, but I decided to do it in French to show you the importance and the success of French second-language programs.
