Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Today is Valentine's Day, and your comment is entirely appropriate. I'm happy to see you in the flesh.
I'd like to thank the witnesses who are with us: Ms. Crist, Mr. Bossé, Mr. Power and Mr. Laplante.
My first question is for Mr. Laplante.
Mr. Laplante, in your opening remarks, you referred to an exhausting struggle. I think you're right.
As regards funding, you propose to eliminate overfunding for anglophones and to increase funding for francophones.
I'd like us to discuss some potential solutions that go beyond the funding issue.
We're currently conducting a study on promoting and protecting the French language in Quebec and the rest of Canada.
Could you help us find solutions? I'm not asking you to suggest 20 measures. Instead I'd ask you to suggest three specific measures that would help protect and promote French.
