Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being with us today.
My first question is for Mr. Théberge.
When you were a witness at a meeting held earlier this year, you spoke about the importance of Canada having a francophone immigration policy. This policy will now be built into the Official Languages Act. This was also requested of the committee by the former president of the SNA during the last Parliament.
Also, the FCFA put forward amendments to some of the wording in the bill about this policy, to ensure that the policy would aim at restoring the demographic weight of francophones in Canada.
Do you think that we should, after decades of failure following the introduction of Canada's initial immigration policy, correct the situation and return the demographic weight of francophones outside Quebec to the 2001 levels?
