Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Termote, I'd like to return to the point you just raised about demographics and the need to strengthen French language learning at home. I would also like to discuss the shortage of education services for young children in French, particularly outside Quebec.
My question is about funds paid to the provinces by the federal government for day care centres. This funding was definitely needed. All of the provinces except Ontario have agreed to this federal funding.
Do you think the federal government missed a great opportunity to promote the development of French by failing to include language provisions in the provincial agreements for the delivery of day care services?
