I don't want to get this room overheated. Thank you, Mr. Godin, for telling me what happened last year. I am from Manitoba, where linguistic harmony is a reality we experience every day. So, I would like us to live in harmony too.
I am finding it truly difficult to understand why there was partisanship when we voted on the subcommittee, because you have assured me that you are not partisan. I would like to set all that aside. We are going to be hearing from witnesses and hearing ideas that will stimulate debate. If one person asks four questions, there will be some repetition. I would like to know whether there are any other ideas. The more of them we have, the more witnesses will have an opportunity to express their opinion. This is an inclusive process, and we need to collaborate.
I don't want the atmosphere to get any more heated than it already is. I was not here last year. Whatever the case may be, I would like everyone to have the opportunity to participate. That is what I want, and not to get the parties overheated. That is my personal and professional opinion.
