Thank you for your question, sir.
I'm pleased to see you're in entire agreement with our bill. Your question doesn't concern the essence of this bill, but rather an advertisement. I obviously don't want to defend the advertisement or the person who designed it, but this matter reminds me of an incident that took place on June 24 three years ago, when I found myself at home. Your former colleague, who was minister and member for Hull—Aylmer, had completely forgotten to celebrate Quebec's national holiday and passed over this event in silence in his newsletter. You'll understand the consternation in my community, that is to say the Gatineau community in the Outaouais, when it discovered that a federal minister had forgotten such a thing.
