I will pick up where I left off:
a) examine why the target of 4.4% of total immigration set in 2003 in the Strategic Framework to Foster Immigration to Francophone Minority communities was not met; b) review the November 2021 report from the Commissioner of Official Languages on French immigration; c) explore how the Government can work to maintain or increase the demographic weight of Francophone minority communities; d) provide recommendations for addressing the shortage of French-language teachers in Canada, particularly outside of Quebec, as well as how the Government can increase opportunities for newcomers to learn French, while respecting the powers of other jurisdictions and existing agreements; that the committee allocate a minimum of six meetings to this study; that the committee report its findings and recommendations to the House and; that, pursuant to Standing Order 109, the Government table a comprehensive response.
The third motion is about the decline of French:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(f), the committee undertake a study on the measures that the Government of Canada can take to fulfill its responsibility, as set out in the Speech from the Throne, to protect and promote French not only outside Quebec but also within Quebec; that as part of this study, the Committee: a) provide an objective and detailed portrait of the situation of English and French Quebec, as well as of francophone and Acadian communities; based on key linguistic indicators, such as French as the mother tongue, main language spoken at home, language shifts, main language of work, and so on; b) evaluate the effectiveness of the government's language policies with respect to the objective of protecting and promoting French as well as the impact of these policies on provincial legislative measures to protect and promote French; c) Examine all the tools available to the government, as well as consider possible amendments to the Official Languages Act, to harmonize the government's commitment to protect and promote both official languages of Canada; that the committee include testimony given to the Standing Committee on Official Languages during the 43rd Parliament, 2nd Session in its study of the same topic; that the committee allocate a minimum of six meetings to this study; that the committee report its findings and recommendations to the House, and; that, pursuant to Standing Order 109, the Government table a comprehensive response.
