I like that answer, which leads me to my last question.
We know that French is in decline in Canada. We must spare no effort to ensure that francophones and the French language are protected across Canada.
From what other witnesses who have appeared before our committee have told us, 60% of francophones live in Africa. If we want to expand our francophone community here in Canada, both in and outside Quebec, we really must recruit francophones where they live. Unfortunately, we've also learned that they would encounter many obstacles, such as the French test. The level of difficulty of that test is too high for francophones who are born francophones and who have studied and worked in French.
What could our department do, together with other departments, to solve those problems so we can continue meeting our targets for francophones in Canada, particularly in minority settings such as here at home in London?
