It's a huge honour to be joining you at this committee, especially with such an important conversation.
First, I want to thank the witnesses for the conversation.
I'll start with Mr. Méhou-Loko.
British Columbia, my home province, right now has the fifth-largest francophone community. We're competing for fourth right now. Can you speak about what better supports need to be in place to support immigrants, but also the challenges in ensuring that British Columbia maintains that level within the francophone community and that immigration gets as far west as British Columbia?
We know it's a huge challenge for the francophone community, and for British Columbians in general, to ensure that we maintain that level of francophones.
