Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to all the witnesses. I will start with Mr. Cyr and Mr. Brun.
Gentlemen, you have raised a really important issue about mental illness. I think no family in Canada, including mine, is spared. Mental health issues may become worse when people have no access to services in their own language. For minorities—there are communities of newcomers where I live—this access is fundamental.
I suspect some people are starting to raise concerns. New Brunswick had an election. We are now seeing that a small parliamentary group seems somewhat uncertain. This group, which is against francophones and minority language rights, could have a lot of weight in the government's future activities in New Brunswick.
If your recommendations, which are very valid and important, are not taken into account, do you think that the federal government should ensure that those services are provided to linguistic minorities, including in New Brunswick, when, at the provincial level, they are eliminated or cut because of politics?
