With your permission, I have a question to ask and a comment to make.
I don't want to see you all here before the Standing Committee on Official Languages every year answering questions from the representatives of the government or opposition. The message we're trying to send you is simple. Do you know what it took in the Province of Quebec for it to decide to redo all the roads? An overpass had to collapse. That caused such a shock wave that they're repairing all roads in Quebec. I've never seen so many work sites since that event occurred.
What we're telling you is that the Hall of Fame program caused a shock wave in our corner of the world. Perhaps at some point Radio-Canada and the CBC should sit down together and clarify something in order to prevent problems of this kind from reoccurring. I don't want to see you back here every month; I'm sure you have other things to do. You have 55 months to carry out your mandate.
You must try to find a solution, but not just in terms of sensitivity. You're a lawyer. Perhaps I'd like it to be not merely a question of sensitivity in your future regulations, but a reality. That's what's important. Otherwise the same problem will reappear.
Earlier you heard the comments of Mr. Gravel and Mr. Nadeau. They told you that situations like that made them become what they are. If we are to save the country, you can at least help us. That's the comment I wanted to pass on to you. It's not just for the fun of it that we've asked you to appear: it's because there has been a shock wave.
