I’m curious about that, because in his announcement at Laval University, Minister Champagne said the money would also lead to more research in French, which is in decline in Canada. “Research in the Arctic, in the North, will happen in French. Obviously, that’s important to me as a francophone. The decline we are seeing … is not just a Canadian issue,” he said.
Is the minister right to say that funding the ArcticNet network will promote French-language science in the Arctic and the north?
