Thank you, Chair.

Thank you both for coming.

I do have to correct one statement that you made. We did not recognize the province of Quebec as a nation. We recognized the Québécois as a nation, in a cultural and linguistic sense.

I do have to say I was really pleased to hear Mr. Bachand defending Canadian sovereignty so hard in the province of Quebec. I appreciate that.
