Thank you.
I have three minutes and three messages.
The first message is for the students and those who are at the back, the others who have been so patient all this time.
We committee members are going to try to prepare a report. We would like to do it by the end of June, at least based on what we've heard to date, regarding the importance of immigration for the official language minority communities, like our community here in Ontario.
If some of you would like to send us comments on what you've heard this morning or on anything else, you should do it quite soon, even this week. I have an e-mail address that you can note down, if you're interested: [email protected]. If we receive your comments this week, there is a good chance they can be distributed to us and be considered in the study and in our report which will be prepared soon.
The second message concerns the bricks. I promised my colleagues to explain why they are here.
Earlier the principal gave me some bricks. These are bricks that come from my home village. I come from mid-northern Ontario, from a small village called Mattawa. These are some bricks from the hospital that has just been demolished. There was a big dispute. Some people wanted to prevent the demolition of the hospital, which couldn't be saved, to prevent the construction of a school at that location, hoping that the school would be built somewhere else. I took part in the dispute a bit.
