Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Lattanzio already raised part of my question, but I'd like to add to the discussion about the 4.4% target, which we reached in 2022. I was there with Minister Fraser and Marie‑France Lalonde when the announcement was made at the École secondaire catholique Franco-Cité in Sturgeon Falls. That's the school I attended. It was created in 1971 and is the first francohone high school in Ontario, so it's a historic site. The school is still going strong and has many francophone students. As the slogan goes, “patriote un jour, patriote toujours”, or “once a patriot, always a patriot” in English. I wanted to put that on the record.
As for the subamendment, I think we all agree on the importance of the word “restoring”, since it strengthens the amendment. We've clearly heard from the communities and stakeholders across the country about the need to increase our targets. In terms of the first step, for the first time in history, we've reached the 4.4% target. So that's a historic achievement.
So you've answered my question on the importance of the subamendment.
