Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Right now, I have some discomfort about the fact that there is room for seven members of Parliament and for seven analysts and interpreters. So there are three MPs who will not be able to take part in the event while seven public servants will be present. If I don't go as a francophone MP, there will be no need for interpreters. So I'm in a delicate position since, if I say that I don't need interpreters, my anglophone colleagues will not understand if I speak French.
On that note, I would not want to be in the position of not going just because then there won't be a need for interpreters and vice versa. I just wanted to make sure that everyone will be there.
I can manage in the other official language. I can understand English, but sometimes I'm not as fluent when I speak it. I'm not sure how Mr. Rioux feels about that, but I don't want us to miss out on opportunities or to feel clearly like a minority.
