Yes, I can answer it briefly.
Ms. Ashton, you've raised a very good point about our consular presence in countries of interest to the Canadian francophonie. Unfortunately, Canada's presence in Africa isn't proportionate to the country's interest in the Canadian francophonie.
Furthermore, certain initiatives directed by Global Affairs Canada, through its Trade Commissioner Service, for example, are minor and do little to offset the pool of francophones that should normally arrive in Canada but doesn't.
A few days ago, I took part in a Global Affairs Canada consultation, in which it was noted that the average cost associated with francophone programming in our embassies and consulates was only $2,000 per embassy, which is really very little. The whole issue here is the unfair situation of French and the fact that it isn't represented internationally. That has to be rebalanced.
