Mr. Chairman, there's no doubt that French is a minority language in North America and it cannot be taken for granted. It needs a sustained effort to ensure that we preserve it. I believe a key strength of Canada is that it is bilingual; it has two official languages. I believe a key strength of Air Canada is that it does promote bilingualism.
I certainly hope that my example of learning French can be an example for others living in Quebec and outside Quebec, that supporting both official languages is important for the entire country.
