Indeed, none can doubt that our pasts are very much interwined. However, this gathering is intended to be for the Francophone nations of North America, with possibly a few guests from the tiny French population of South America.
However, there is merit to the idea of a gathering of the international Francophonie. Perhaps some time after this Exhibition in Winnipeg, another gathering could be held elsewhere, in which Francophones worldwide could participate.
However, if it is the wish of the majority of the nations of French North America that Lisist France be involved in these festivities, then we shall extend our invitation to you as well.
Respectfully Yours,
Serge Sauvage
