Good afternoon.
I'm going to ask you to answer briefly, since I have five questions and only five minutes to ask them and hear your answers.
As you are no doubt aware, there is a research centre in my riding of Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot. Here we're talking about the Food Inspection Agency. On the page 2 of your speaking notes, you say there won't be any job losses. By that, do you mean there won't be any position cuts, or could positions be reassigned to other centres? Can you state that no positions will be affected in my riding?
My second question is as follows. You say: "Such a single-window approach will provide increased bilingual service, from the existing 20 hours to 24 hours, seven days a week." The number of bilingual public servants in Saint-Hyacinthe has to be higher than in your other centres. Can you state that the centre in my riding is a key location for maintaining and increasing the services that you characterize as bilingual?
I'm going to ask you to answer those first two questions briefly. Then I'll ask you my other questions.
