Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Boissonnault, for joining us here this morning.
An earlier part of the questioning made me think of one of our colleagues and the question around language. I have a quote here from Zoe Miller, who is a Mohawk teacher, among other things.
She stated:
Learning a little bit about a different language is an excellent way to learn about the people around you and the land on which you stand, and it helps to bridge the gap [between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities]. This is what reconciliation ought to look like.
She taught Mohawk to our colleague Minister Miller, which he worked very hard to learn and deliver in the House of Commons, which I think at the time really made a meaningful mark on this exercise that we've all been very diligently trying to participate in while learning quite a lot along the way.
I wanted to raise that with respect to your interest in Cree, learning Cree and maybe contributing here and there to the use of the language. I think that it shows an interest and a commitment to learning about others. That's just a positive contribution I wanted to make in this conversation this morning.
A lot has been said. I'm just wondering in these minutes if there's anything else that you would like a chance to add here that hasn't been addressed or that was cut short. I'd like to give you the floor.
