Official Languages committee  Thank you very much for your question. Before answering it, allow me to introduce my colleague, who has just joined us. Denis Hamel is vice-president for politics and labour. He has advanced expertise in the field. The answer that I can give you off the top, Ms. Lattanzio, is that we have to ensure that the French language can attract companies from around the world to come and do business in French in Quebec and Canada.

Official Languages committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. First of all, I want to inform you that my colleague seems to be having connection problems. That's unfortunate because he's highly qualified and could have assisted the committee by answering questions. I'll do my best to answer them. Members of the committee, allow me to introduce myself.
