Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to have this opportunity to stress the importance of a national organization that is actively involved in providing opportunities for education for women in minority language communities.
The Réseau national d'action éducation femmes has for many years been involved in promoting and improving the education of francophone women.
Its role also includes making the public aware of the specific needs of francophone women in minority language communities, seeking out teaching tools, providing literacy training, promoting recognition of vested rights and doing research on employment equity.
I would also like to draw your attention to activities that are being prepared for next fall. The Réseau national d'action éducation femmes is gearing up for a national francophone women's education week.
I would urge hon. members to show their support for this outstanding initiative and to help make it a success. We all have a stake in education.
