Thank you, Madam Chair.
My first question is for Ms. Cardinal.
I would like to extend my greetings, thank you for your dedication and congratulate you on your work. I know that you served as co‑chair of the advisory panel that drafted this report.
The report acknowledges that higher education falls under the jurisdiction of Quebec and the provinces. However, you're proposing a Canada‑wide mechanism for French‑language post‑secondary education, coordinated by Canadian Heritage.
I would like to understand how the federal government can take action within the limits of its jurisdiction, which doesn't include education. Could you explain your recommendations in more detail?
