Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My first question is for Mr. Termote.
Mr. Termote, there is a lot of immigration in the rest of Canada, particularly in Toronto. Almost 100% of language transfers among newcomers are towards English, and English is not threatened because it truly is the common language in the rest of Canada, where French represents a very small minority.
If Quebec were to adopt a territorial model, there would be more language transfers towards French. Of course even if there were 50,000 immigrants per year, the number of language transfers would max out at 5,000 or perhaps even 10,000, but at least as immigrants arrived, they would receive French-language training.
Would a territorial regime in Quebec help to protect French?
