Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome to the committee, Mr. Rodriguez. I naturally wish you every success in your important mandate.
You were talking about languages a moment ago. I want to bring you round to the subject of official languages. This morning Carol Jolin, president of the Assemblée de la francophonie de l'Ontario, asked the federal government, of which you are a part, whether it was prepared to fund the Université de l'Ontario français out of available funds for the first four years.
