Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, I want to thank you for being here. As a parliamentary secretary, I have the pleasure of working with you. We always speak to each other in French, which I greatly appreciate.
How can the government, in all its complexity, ensure that communications are increasingly done in French? In my previous role as ambassador, I spoke to the departments and saw with my own eyes the extent to which people genuinely wanted to learn French and contribute to the effort. In your position, how can you have more influence over the government? The bill will no doubt help you, but do you have other perspectives?
