Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I read the newspapers in both languages. I am the ambassador in the United States for all Canadians, including Quebeckers. That is my job. That is my mandate. I shall faithfully carry that out for all Canadians, and this includes Quebeckers.
I should also say that I have the great benefit of working with provincial leadership as part of my role, including the three provinces that are represented physically in the embassy. Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario each has a physical presence, and there is a very strong and collaborative office from the Province of Quebec also in Washington, D.C. We are in regular communication so I can have the information I need to represent all Canadians, including Quebeckers, in Washington. I will continue to do that faithfully.
