It was said a little earlier that this program was designed to clarify language rights. Clearly, it was designed to protect Charter rights, but that will be of little help if we do not implement programs to protect these rights.

Thank you very much.

I have been told that we have to vacate the room because the Standing Committee on Finance is meeting here.

I would like to thank all committee members.

Thank you very much to all of you.

Mr. Benson, from Toulouse, thank you very much for participating with us.

We will meet again soon.

The meeting is adjourned.
