Thank you very much, Chair, and thanks to everyone for coming today.
I have two short questions, Mr. Chair, and if I don't use all my time, I'll deflect it to whoever or let it go by.
My first question is to Ms. Hylland and the Canada Games. It's interesting because sport is one of the things that brings our country together. One of the things that it's missing, not only in sport but in most of our national events, especially as we move out west—and I'm from British Columbia—is trying to exploit the French language more. As we get past the Manitoba border, it becomes less.... Once we get into Alberta, it's really less...and then there is British Columbia.
I wonder if there is a way, when the Canada Games woos its way out west from time to time, of trying to enforce the French language even more through linguistic duality. It seems to me as though, with all due respect, it's the lesser of the two languages the further you go west. It shouldn't be that way. It should be, in my opinion, 50-50. How do we get there?
