I'm happy to be here, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for being here.
You spoke about the importance of French‑language services. We know perfectly well that the lack of French‑language services in education, day cares, public schools and universities plays a major role in assimilation. That's exactly why francophone parents have fought so hard for years to secure spots in these systems. Your comments on this topic are important.
I'll turn to you, Mr. Racine and Ms. Anderson, to talk about day cares. Do you know how many bilingual or francophone day cares are located outside Quebec?
