Thank you very much for your question.
Before answering it, allow me to introduce my colleague, who has just joined us. Denis Hamel is vice-president for politics and labour. He has advanced expertise in the field.
The answer that I can give you off the top, Ms. Lattanzio, is that we have to ensure that the French language can attract companies from around the world to come and do business in French in Quebec and Canada. It's possible to do economic development in French.
From a demographic standpoint, the francophone population will be growing in the coming years. We view that as an economic development opportunity. That's why we don't want our borders used as ramparts to repel the invader. Instead we want them to be used as a springboard to expand the economic francophonie around the world.
Now I'll ask my colleague Denis Hamel to clarify a few points in answer to your question.
