Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, I want to go back to what you said at the outset about people having a knack for languages or not. Since I arrived here in Ottawa, I have also started learning English. I don't have a knack for languages. I'm one of those people. However, I'm very surprised and really happy to see that a number of my colleagues from across Canada approach me and ask me to speak to them in French. They take French courses and do French immersion. I really feel that they want to learn French.
I'm telling you about my personal experience. As a government, you said that we need to improve things. I don't think things are perfect all the time. However, when there is a will to change things, they will change.
By extension, I am inspired by local media. Through local media, we can get information in French from one end of the country to the other. It contributes to the vitality of the language in the public sphere.
Can you tell us about the efforts our government has made to strengthen the capacity of local media and community radio stations? It's extremely important for the francophone community.
