Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My first question is for Ms. Forest.
You mentioned it in your statement, but I would like to know your thoughts on the situation of Laurentian University in Sudbury. In order to retain francophone students and workers and to have a vibrant francophone community, we need French-language educational institutions and universities like Laurentian University.
Why should it be a priority to provide French-language post-secondary education to French-language minority communities, particularly in Alberta, Ontario and New Brunswick?
