The Honourable Anita Anand, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today announced the establishment of the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Francophonie Consultation Committee, which is meeting for the first time today in Ottawa.

This new committee will strengthen coordination among federal, provincial and territorial ministers on Francophonie-related priorities in the lead-up to Canada’s engagement in upcoming Francophonie summits.
