Here is my burning question.
Ms. Drzystek, you said that the federal government's mission is to show Canadians the richness of bilingual culture. I'm older than you, but when I was little, I didn't even know there were anglophones in Canada. There was a Canadian program aimed at promoting bilingualism in Canada. I was too young to understand how it worked, but the spokesperson for the program was Angèle Arsenault, a native of Prince Edward Island. No relation, in case you were wondering. She sang songs like “Bonjour, mon ami, how are you, my friend? Ça va très bien, thank you”.
In the modern era of inclusion and multiculturalism, how can we promote this idea and persuade people of its merits?
