Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank my colleagues for testifying here this morning. I also thank the people from Les Etchemins for travelling to Ottawa. I think that shows how great the sense of belonging to a region and to its history really is.
You colleagues who have been working with these people since 2006 are in a very good position to know that the sense of belonging to a region abides over several generations. Your two regions have been marked by that and have shown this attachment since Confederation. That feeling is also very strong among the people from Beauce.
You can tell us again about that sense of belonging. I noted earlier that Mr. Blaney wanted to do that.
