“Our government supports science and research in French. We gave $1 million for this work and we will soon publish a report on how to support it further.”
“Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Madawaska—Restigouche for his excellent question and his excellent work. I share his appreciation for Acfas, which is carrying out critical work to promote science and research in French. That is a top priority for our government. First, on April 1, we announced $1 million in funding to promote research in French. Second, we are currently reviewing the recommendations of the advisory panel on research in French as part of the action plan for official languages 2023‑28, and we will be publishing the report shortly. We are proud of the work of our francophone researchers.”
