Mr. Speaker, I would like to wish all my colleagues here and all of Canada a happy Francophonie Month. In the last budget, our government invested in official languages and made a historic announcement. We added more than $4.1 billion to the action plan to help minority language communities, including in Acadia and my own province of New Brunswick. Can the Minister of Official Languages tell us about the measures he recently announced for Francophonie Month?

Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his tireless work on behalf of Acadians and the Canadian francophonie. Our government is making record investments in our official language minority communities. On March 1, we announced an additional $62.5 million for 300 organizations across the country. These investments allow us to ensure that our communities remain strong, vibrant and diverse. I join my colleague from Madawaska-Restigouche in wishing all members of the House a happy Francophonie Month.
