Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would simply like to conclude the discussion that we had on multiculturalism earlier today. You said that you didn't want to get too caught up in words, labels. Yet words are important for the immigrant and for the host society. The concepts we articulate with respect to the integration of newcomers have a value. This is so important that in a recent study on reasonable accommodation in Quebec, the Bouchard-Taylor Commission concluded that Canadian multiculturalism should not apply to Quebec. This opinion was shared by all those involved and was expressed in the majority of the briefs tabled before the Commission.
Lastly, you say to Quebeckers on the one hand that they can do what they want within their jurisdiction but that the federal government applies its legislation from one ocean to the other, regardless of any Quebec consensus.
