Thank you.
That adjourns our meeting this afternoon in New Brunswick. Earlier, we covered Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.
I have taken note of the constructive criticisms and assure you that our committee has not completed its work. Many associations were invited to come and meet us, including the SAANB. It is true that the invitations may have reached you at the last minute, but all I can say is that the work of Parliament has been proceeding at a furious pace for some time now. We are trying to do our best. This is the first time in 25 years the committee has travelled to meet in a region. Thus on a positive note, I can tell you that this will not be the last time. When we hold meetings in Ottawa, we invite groups to come and meet us and give presentations. We see groups that come to meet MPs. For example, a seniors' literacy group came to meet us in Ottawa last week. We want to continue our efforts in this direction.
A moment ago, Mr. Petit said that all he had understood was one thing: the comments about court challenges. I can tell you that there is more than one person at the table; I certainly heard other things. I am convinced that you raised other issues besides the court challenges. The francophonie affects minorities; it is a whole.
We are preparing a report that will be submitted to the government.
Thank you.
The committee must now go to the University of Moncton. We need to pick up our suitcases and be ready by 2:45 p.m.
Thank you and good afternoon.
