Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to an important event that will take place on the weekend in Winnipeg: the twentieth annual convention of the Canadian Association of Immersion Teachers.
This convention will be attended by teachers, administrators, researchers, university professors and commissioners, all of whom will take part in a variety of workshops and round table discussions. The aim of the Canadian Association of Immersion Teachers is to pursue bilingualism by helping immersion teachers in Canada meet their professional development needs by various means, including research, conventions, a newsletter, publications and active participation at the national and international levels.
I wish all of the participants an exciting and productive weekend in Winnipeg and I congratulate the association on their continuing support for French immersion and bilingualism in Canada.
