On behalf of the committee, I'd like to thank the witnesses who agreed to change the times of their appearances. As I said in the middle of the meeting, we had changed our agenda.
I'd also like to thank the staff who have assisted us during the meetings, the interpreters, the staff at the console and on logistics, the analyst and the clerks. For the record, I'd also like to thank our Ottawa employees. Samy Agha called the people to make the program changes. He had to make some incredible efforts. I'd like to thank you, Samy. We also want to thank our interpreters, who have tolerated us. That's very much appreciated, especially on the Standing Committee on Official Languages.
Chairing the meetings was a pleasure for me, both in the east and western regions of the country. I've been a member of the Standing Committee on Official Languages since 1998. The fact that we went to see people in the field and that we got Parliament's support to do that was very significant.
I'd also like to thank the officials who were present this evening, the official languages representatives and the officials from Canadian Heritage, as well as the lady from the Manitoba Interdepartmental Network of Official Languages Coordinators.
Our mandate for this trip ends here in Manitoba, but the mission isn't finished. On December 12 and 14, we'll be holding meetings in Ottawa. We'll draft a report and table it in the House of Commons in order to advance the cause of Canada's official languages.
And so I say to you thank you, good evening and have a good week.
The meeting is adjourned.
