Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to add to Ms. Koutrakis's story, because I went through the same dilemma. In the 1970s, my parents wanted to send me to a French school.
By the way, before coming to Canada, my parents went to live in France for five years, in order to learn French before coming to Canada from Italy. When they came to Quebec, they wanted to send me to French school. I confronted the same dilemma. We were not allowed to go to French school because we were threatening to the French language schools—taking over their space. We were obliged to go to an English school.
Today, my 10-year-old son goes to a bilingual school. Just last night, my wife was telling him, “Gabriel, parle-moi en français.” He has come out recently with great marks because we push him to speak French at home. He's doing great, and we're proud of that. We're proud to be supporting the languages.
