Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Let me say at the outset that I will be sharing my time with my colleague Ms. Martinez Ferrada.
Minister Joly, thank you so much for joining us today and for contributing to the present study.
Our government is proposing a systemic shift in its approach to official languages, with the protection and promotion of French at its core all the while fulfilling its constitutional obligations to the English linguistic community in Quebec. However, we have heard and read some serious concerns from the stakeholders of the English linguistic minority community in Quebec.
Can you inform us today as to how the government intends to support, promote and protect the rights and vitality of the English-speaking community of Quebec through a modernized OLA?
