CAPF Canadian Branch of the Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie

A few APF member branches met to discuss the APF Opinion that will be presented to the heads of state who are attending the meeting at the upcoming Summit of La Francophonie in Djerba, Tunisia. The APF Opinion is a document of the l’Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie that provides suggested measures on a variety of issues, particularly the promotion of the French language and culture. The APF Opinion is moved, debated and adopted at the summer Annual Session that precedes the Summit of La Francophonie, which is held every two years in the fall. Marie-France Lalonde, Francis Drouin, President of the Canadian Branch, and Senator Jean Guy Dagenais attended the meeting and presented the branch’s suggested modifications to the Opinion, including a suggestion to work with local governments in order to improve access to digital infrastructure and respect the concept of social licence when deploying communication technologies. A final version of the Opinion will be submitted to the branches shortly.
