Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I want to thank you for coming here this morning.
First, Mr. Desgagné, I can understand you when you talked about the television because in Atlantic Canada, when highway 40 is flooded in Montreal, the L'Atlantique en direct broadcast is interrupted to explain the inexplicable for an entire day.
To some people, this is important and perhaps our situation isn't as bad as yours. Perhaps we're even a little spoiled, but it's frustrating when those kinds of things happen. We wonder about the need to devote an entire day to explaining the flood, because it can't really be explained.
Still, I'd like to come back to a few things. Mr. Denault, you mentioned earlier the issue of discrimination. People may recall that schools were able to be built in the Northwest Territories for francophones, but under a specific program. We can recall the entire controversy regarding the program called the Court Challenges Program, which allowed francophones in the Northwest Territories to obtain a French school.
You were talking about discrimination. Could you quickly tell me how the francophones in the Northwest Territories are currently able to defend themselves and promote their rights when it comes to complaints of discrimination? Do they have the financial capacity to do so or are they left to their own devices because of the current situation?
