Good morning, Mr. Lord.
I imagine you would have had a hard time describing the former plan as flawed, given the number of agreements we signed together when you were the Premier of New Brunswick. I think this was very helpful to your province.
I want to come back to your mandate. I understand from what you said that you did not meet with representatives from the Public Service Alliance. When you spoke to my colleague, Mr. Rodriguez, your mandate was quite broad. In my opinion, the fact that you did not consult with representatives of the public service, who are a key component as regards linguistic duality, shows that this is not an action plan, but rather a public relations exercise on your part. If that was not part of the action plan, that means that Ms. Verner has already written her report and that ultimately, you will not necessarily have any influence regarding your proposals.
That said, I want to come back to the preliminary report and to the report Mr. Godin was referring to earlier. If there was a draft, to use the term that appeared in The Chronicle, that means that there was a written text. Is there a difference between the preliminary report and the final report?
