Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I also thank the witnesses.
I am the member for Churchill—Keewatinook Aski, which is in northern Manitoba. I know that some people in my riding are familiar with the work Mr. Traynor did in his previous position. Our region is not one of the regions covered by the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency, but, as a member from western Canada and northern Manitoba, and also a francophile, I would very much like to hear you talk specifically about the work you support on the ground here in our region of Canada.
You talked about an investment in a community centre. That is something very important. In our communities, the biggest needs involve educational facilities and services. I know your work relates to businesses, but I would like you to tell us, Mr. Traynor and Mr. Kapoor, how your programs promote educational opportunities for members of the francophone communities in your regions and in ours.
