Thank you. I am sorry if my brief opening remarks alarmed you, because really, the objective of the opening ceremonies is to reflect Canada's linguistic duality and diversity. If I may give you some assurances—although the content of the opening and closing ceremonies is, of course, confidential—the people in charge of official languages on the organizing committee, who are well aware of the committee's responsibilities with respect to linguistic duality, met with their counterparts for the opening and closing ceremonies at an awareness and information session. The objective was to ensure they understand what specific measures must be taken to highlight linguistic duality. The Department of Canadian Heritage is investing $20 million in the opening ceremony, and of course, reflecting the linguistic duality is a priority and a key objective for the department.
An advisory committee has been created to examine and approve the content of the ceremonies, and a senior departmental official sits on that committee precisely to ensure that they don't lose sight of linguistic duality. Another way for us to ensure that official languages are fully respected is through the contribution agreement which contains the same provisions as the multi-party agreement signed with all partners, as regards official languages.
