Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses.
There have been discussions with representatives from VANOC, but what have they said about the opening ceremony? Are we ready? Artists do not only come from Quebec, but from everywhere in Canada. We certainly know of artists from where we come from who would like to gain some exposure. When the winter games were held in Bathurst, the French part of the opening ceremony was broadcast at two in the morning. Will the same thing happen again? Who is going to broadcast the ceremony? Will it be given the same degree of importance? It should be opened six months in advance, not one month. That concerns me.
What do VANOC representatives tell you when you meet with them? I have no problem with the fact that it is hard for them to do some things, but it is not hard to find artists.
