Thank you to all the witnesses for being with us today. Ms. Chouinard, you recommend that the regulations include clear and measurable objectives. What would an objective consistent with part VII look like? Can you give an example of the kind of inconsistent objective you see all too often?

Thank you so much for your response. My last question is for the witnesses from Droits collectifs Québec. How do you think we can strike a balance between federal language rights and Quebec's Charter of the French Language?

Should the regulations provide incentives to support creating new spaces in immersion programs in underserved regions?

That's fantastic. Thank you.

Thank you very much. Now I have some questions for the Canadian Parents for French representatives. What barriers to access are you still seeing, such as waiting lists, selection criteria, school transportation, hidden fees or lack of information? Should the regulations require equitable access plans for each region that include targets and timelines?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to all the witnesses for being here today. My first questions are for the witnesses from the FCCF. The modernized Official Languages Act explicitly recognizes the central role of culture in the vitality of francophone minority communities. In your opinion, do the draft regulations sufficiently translate this recognition into concrete obligations for federal [more]

Okay. My last question is for you, Mr. Rémillard. During a previous appearance before the committee, the FAJEF mentioned the need to better define the obligations set out in part VII of the Official Languages Act. Do you think the current draft regulations sufficiently clarify those obligations?

Thank you.
