You all know that as usual, I will be quite honest with you. I remember how difficult I found this committee when I was Parliamentary Secretary for Official Languages, because there was a lot of partisanship on all sides. I didn't say there was more on one side then on the other; it came from all parties. On the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, despite some divisions, we tried to work together to create a committee that, without being apolitical, got along well. I do understand that she is a new member of Parliament and would like everyone to be able to speak. And that's understandable, because this is a very emotional file. It is extremely emotional, Yvon, you know it, on all sides. Personally, I want things to work well on this committee. I didn't experience it last year, but I did get some unofficial feedback from here and there, from all parties. I think we need to set this up all together so that everyone has an opportunity to speak, out of respect for individuals and for the French language. We are all fighting for the same thing here.
If we can manage to do that, I hope it goes well. We are adults advocating for Canadians and Quebeckers. We are advocating on behalf of the French language. I want this to be done respectfully, because I sat on this committee for a year and never wanted to come back. Now, I'm back, so I want things to go smoothly.
