Mr. Béland, I will continue along the same lines.
The current strategy is to invest in CBC/Radio-Canada to ensure a critical mass of proud francophones in Canada, but communities also have a role to play. They must mobilize the private sector so as to create demand on both sides, in order to maintain the supply of French‑language content.
In this context, the francophonie is important, but there’s a difference between the Canadian francophonie and francophonie in general. When it comes to Canadian content, should we stop being interested in the francophonie in the broadest sense of the term, and should we strengthen the Canadian francophonie and Canadian content, just like Canadian content on the English side? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
