Good morning, everyone. My name is Sylvie Boucher and I am parliamentary secretary for Josée Verner, Minister for La Francophonie and Official Languages. I am a government member. This is my second trip with this committee. We started in the east and we went westward. This week, we heard complaints and we took note of them. You can be sure that we will pass them on. Personally, I am an eternal optimist because I deeply believe in the francophone cause.
My question is for you, Mr. Ferré. I see that you are restless in your chair and I think that you have many things to say. If you had any solutions, short and long term, to propose to our government—that has two representatives here today—to promote the vitality of francophone communities, what would they be? I want to take note of them.
