Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank our witnesses, the representatives of the departments of Canadian Heritage and Citizenship and Immigration. Thanks to them for taking part in this exercise, and I apologize for being late.
My first question will be for the people from the Department of Canadian Heritage. Before going any further, Mr. Chair, I'd like to mention that we had invited the Minister of Canadian Heritage and that he unfortunately did not accept our invitation. So we'll put our questions to the people who work at the department every day.
Ms. Boyer, you said that the government acknowledged the decline of the French language in the 2020 throne speech. You also discussed offensives conducted by the government, which announced a $389‑million investment over two years on April 19, 2021. Investments are all well and good, but you said you had to improve immersion programs, assist the provinces and territories and support French. What specific measures have been implemented and what measures have been taken to rectify the situation since the 2020 throne speech?
