Canadian Parents for French
1104 - 170 Laurier Ave West K2P 0A6 Ottawa, ON, Canada

Thank you Minister Mélanie Joly for taking the time to meet with us and discuss the proposed changes to the Official Language Act. It was a very productive meeting. Thank you also for agreeing with us that French second language education is a fundamental aspect to ensure a bilingual Canada. As you said, we share the same passion and we look forward to continuing working together and supporting the Government's efforts to modernize the OLA.
