Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would like to thank you all for being here this morning. It's very important that we travel across Canada to give you the opportunity to express yourselves.
I represent a riding in northern New Brunswick. The reality is a little different there because our province is officially bilingual, but it seems that the realities of day-to-day life are similar.
Ms. Jomphe-LeClaire, I just want to say something as an aside. I hope that you were not told in New Brunswick that you represent an ethnic group.
