Thank you very much, Ms. Dubois.
Mr. Potié and Ms. Ostapyk, I'd like to thank your members for their important work in promoting bilingualism in Canada, which contributes to greater vitality of francophone communities. To have strong francophone communities outside Quebec, French must be present in the public sphere. Training in French as a second language allows people who work in the service sector, whether in stores, cafés or public services, to offer services in French. So this is an important factor in vitality.
I understand from your testimony that there are challenges in terms of labour, particularly when it comes to recruitment and retention. Can you tell me about a winning strategy that would help improve workforce retention and training? What more could we do?
