“We are looking at innovative ways to reach our bilingualism target. As such, the Action Plan includes $16.5 million over five years to create and maintain a free mobile application for Canadians to learn and retain English and French as second languages. The application will be developed primarily for adult learners, including new Canadians, but may also be useful to young Canadians. The application will feature Canadian content and Canadian ways of speaking”

“The Liberal Party promised during the election campaign to create a “free, online service for learning and retaining English and French as second languages,” something the federal government is currently working on, according to an emailed statement from Heritage Canada spokesperson Simon Rivet”

“Mr. Paul Lefebvre: […] The first point is the multi-year official languages plan. The second point is establishing a free, online service for learning and retaining English and French as second languages. […] Our committee could certainly review those points and help move things forward. It could check to see what the department is doing. We could hear from witnesses who are likely to help us with that”
