Official Languages committee  Our province has neither language legislation nor a French-language services policy. Consequently, we risk systematically losing French-language services. This new act may afford us the opportunity to establish French-language services in our community.

Official Languages committee  The four points I discussed in my remarks today had previously been addressed. We don't want to discuss anything new. It's all been said. We clearly need a stronger instrument. It's up to legislators to draft a robust act so we don't have to go to court.

Official Languages committee  Thank you for your question. I have lived in British Columbia for 25 years, and, no, it's not normal to have to wait that long. For example, we lost some employment services. It's unacceptable that we had to wait 11 years to try a case. I worked for La Boussole community centre

Official Languages committee  Thank you.

Official Languages committee  First of all, we would like to thank you for inviting us to outline the reality and challenges of francophones of British Columbia. Members of the Standing Committee on Official Languages, we are counting on you to promote our rights and support the development of the francophon

Official Languages committee  We're counting on your commitment. Thank you.
