Madam Chair, very briefly, I know we're running out of time, but Mr. Vis referenced Dr. Donald Savoie, whom I am very fortunate to count as a friend. He was a dear friend of my father. He is somebody I see regularly in New Brunswick.
You're right, Mr. Vis, he has published, I think, north of 30 books. My favourite one is I'm from Bouctouche, Me, which is a community in my riding where he grew up.
He has correctly identified a challenge—it's in the public service, and I would argue it's in other national institutions as well—to ensure that regions are properly represented. I worry about francophone minorities outside Quebec. We worry, obviously, about indigenous peoples. Across the country, the diversity of our country is often not reflected. The regional diversity but other diversities as well are not properly reflected in institutions like the public service and you could argue other national institutions.
It's a constant effort that our government is trying to undertake, and we would obviously welcome thoughtful suggestions. Like your wife, I grew up in Ottawa and moved to New Brunswick. I went to another coast, but I totally understand the perspective that Mr. Vis properly brought up at this table.
