Mr. Speaker, last week, I had the honour to represent the Minister of Canadian Heritage at the 13th annual Toronto French Book Fair.
Each year, it brings together participants from Ontario, Quebec, France and every part of the world for roundtables, lectures and study groups on the development and promotion of the Franco-Ontarian culture.
Since October 1993, the Toronto French Book Fair has been a forum where participants can meet and share their Franco-Ontarian culture.
Participants also strive to support young Ontarians who are enrolled in French studies programs in the province.
Finally, the Toronto French Book Fair is designed to promote francophone culture and communities across Ontario.
I am sure that hon. members will join me in wishing the 13th Toronto French Book Fair the very best of success.
