Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I primarily have comments to make. Unfortunately, I have been around at times when the conduct of the Department of Public Works and Government Services was not as positive as it is today in terms of official languages.
Mr. Guimont, I want to congratulate you and your team for the work you are doing. I think this is the kind of leadership we are looking for when it comes to official languages. It is also the kind of leadership the Commissioner of Official Languages is looking for when he talks about going beyond obligations. Do keep up your work, because I believe things are off to a very good start.
In terms of there being 1,200 jobs in Quebec, I suppose you are talking about jobs outside the National Capital Region, because I would have thought the number was higher than that.
