Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
After three meetings, I finally have the chance to speak about Nova Scotia, with the Fédération acadienne de la Nouvelle-Écosse, my key partner on matters pertaining to the francophonie and Acadians in Nova Scotia. Hello, Jules and hello, Denise.
I've been working on francophone issues in Nova Scotia for 25 years. We're really trying to designate different regions across Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia's history means we're far apart, but language and culture bring us together.
Mr. Chiasson, can you say a few words about the distance between the regions across the province and the challenge of providing services in French within the government and in the private sector?
