Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the fifth report of the Standing Committee on Science and Research. This report is entitled “Revitalizing Research and Scientific Publication in French in Canada”. I give a special thanks to the member for Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques for his motion, for his advocacy and, in fact, for all that he is doing to enhance French-language recognition within our studies. Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report.

Mr. Speaker, there is cause for celebration, as ACFAS is celebrating its 100th anniversary. ACFAS was established in 1923 by a generation of Quebec pioneers, including botanists Marie-Victorin and Jacques Rousseau and radiologist Léo Pariseau. In a powerful gesture of national affirmation, these visionaries wanted to give the Quebec nation a strong and united francophone scientific organization. They understood that the territorial, economic and national sovereignty of a people hinges on scientific sovereignty. One hundred years later, ACFAS proudly continues its mission to promote, disseminate and value science in French in Quebec and across the Francophonie. More than ever, its work is of crucial importance to Quebec's researchers. I invite all my colleagues to join me in saying long live French, long live science, long live ACFAS.
