I have two pages left. I'm coming to the conclusion.
Of course, we will also take into account—and it’s important to say this—results of community gatherings like the Sommet des communautés francophones et acadienne, reports from the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages, results of the 2006 Census and an important follow-up study on community vitality by Statistics Canada.
Of course, the important work of the House of Commons standing committees on official languages will be given careful consideration.

As you can see, our record in the area of official languages is solid and diversified.
Our Government will continue to build on what we have already achieved to ensure that Canadians can benefit from the many advantages offered by our country's two official languages—a national cultural treasure that is unique in North America.
I am determined to work toward this, in the spirit of open federalism, and respectful of provincial and territorial fields of jurisdiction.
Thank you for inviting me and taking the time to listen.
Of course, I should have introduced my Deputy Minister, Judith LaRocque, whom everybody knows well, and Hubert Lussier, who is Director General.
