Mr. Angus, as you know, there are very few things I'm afraid of in this area of culture and the arts. I'm always willing to meet with those who have expressed a desire to meet with me.
I must explain that I've been working with Madame Verner, Minister for la Francophonie and Official Languages, and she has asked to have a great hand and a large participation within the francophone communities and the arts and heritage committee. Working cooperatively, we had agreed that, if that was her choosing, certainly we'd be pleased to be able to give her the opportunity to demonstrate and to work with the community she was interested in. In fact, just recently Madame Verner made a major announcement in support of the franco-Ontarian community regarding that.
But more specifically to your question, I am certainly very sensitive to the francophone community outside of Quebec. Consequently, when we're looking at the parameters of the francophone secretariat, it is very important that we recognize that francophone community and their special needs and special circumstances.
