Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank all the witnesses who are participating in this extremely important study. I am proud that it was the Bloc Québécois that proposed it.
Mr. Boisrond, I was interviewed yesterday with Jean-Ernest Pierre on radio station CPAM. One of the things that kept coming up was that Canada has never apologized for what happened in the past. It seems to me that it is important to the Haitian community to do that.
The apologies have never come, and yet we know that Canada is capable of apologizing in many cases. I think it is important to admit wrongdoing in order to start off on a new footing. Do you think this is important or just symbolic?
