Good afternoon, Minister.
I'll begin with a question on the modernization of the Official Languages Act that reflects the concerns of stakeholders and francophone communities, particularly those outside Quebec.
Why aren't the language clauses in the federal-provincial agreements included in the bill?
We know that, without those clauses, language minorities will be systematically forgotten, as is clear from the shortage of spaces in francophone child care facilities here at home and elsewhere in Canada.
