I was surprised to hear you say that because there seemed to be so many problems in Vancouver moving things forward in this file. Perhaps you had the good will to promote the official languages, but there was no doubt someone who set up barriers somewhere because you're not that far advanced in that regard today.
I don't know for how many years you managed official languages. Unless I'm mistaken, it appears that you wanted to move things forward. And yet, at some point, someone had to obstruct matters for things to be where they are in 2009, given such poor results a few weeks away from the Olympic Games—based solely on this example of the Olympic Games—as though it were an objective to be achieved. Ultimately, Vancouver airport should have been like the other airports, that is to say a model of bilingualism. We're panicking because of Vancouver. Someone didn't react. You may have worked very hard on the official languages plan, but some person or persons held back matters so that things are not advancing.
I'm not asking you to answer or to say that such and such a person put a crimp in your plans or such and such a thing worked poorly. Pardon me, but I have to make that observation this morning.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
