Mr. Chair, I would just like to do a quick refresh.
We tabled this motion because various LGBTQ+ community groups, such as FrancoQueer and other Canadian francophone groups shared their concerns with us about representation and inclusion, as well as federal and other support. When we talk about the vitality of francophone communities, that also includes sexual diversity.
We thought it would be interesting to look into this issue to better understand the needs and challenges, particularly those related to integration into the Canadian francophonie, and representation. That is why we moved this motion in December. When we talk about the challenges facing the Canadian francophonie, we are referring to both urban and rural areas, such as my riding, where groups have contacted me.
I would say that this is a fairly broad spectrum, which will allow us to fully understand the challenges and see how we can better support these groups. It was in this spirit that we tabled the motion in December.
