Absolutely. It's great to be here.
I want to start with a line of questioning for Mr. Thompson and Mr. Dobie on official languages. When I'm back in Ottawa I usually sit on the official languages committee and I do think there's an important element here from the official languages standpoint.
I want to go back a little bit, Mr. Dobie, to your response to a question from Ms. Romanado, I believe. You mentioned something about the connection to community. Could you expand a little bit on how important it is to have that connection to community, a connection to a language community, especially as it relates to the electoral system and having a representative serve a specific geographic area?
