Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thanks to all those here present.
Mr. Hopkins, I listened to your remarks concerning your department. I think it would be worthwhile this morning to listen to the speeches, comments and answers of other people. Mr. Allain, among others, mentioned direct assistance for the translation of documents. He also mentioned assistance for expediting agreements and direct support for postsecondary institutions to promote bilingualism. Your department does not appear to have been very active in those areas. In any case, you didn't convince me of much in that regard. That is why I say it might be worthwhile to take note of what other people will say.
With respect to programs, Mr. Chouinard, I believe that you raised the question of integrating agreements and programs from place to place so that we can monitor them. You also address the issue of the international program. Could you tell us what the good sides of that are? Among other things, are you facing barriers to the advancement of the international program, among other things?
