dans notre candidature, bien que le Canada ait l'anglais et le français comme langues officielles, le paysage multilingue et multiculturel du Canada invitera les participants de l'AILA à mobiliser la recherche examinant de nombreuses langues, y compris les
nombreuses langues indigènes du Canada et du monde.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"> </span></span><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"> </span><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
