Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Commissioner, I would like to welcome you and your colleagues to our committee. I am very pleased to welcome you here, particularly on the issues affecting the Olympic Games.
Personally, there is something that really bothered me at the Olympic Games. I learned about it after the fact. In the text of the contribution agreement between Canadian Heritage and VANOC, the fact that the Canadian government required equal usage of French and English in the activities that would be taking place in order to reflect the Québécois and Canadian nations before this world audience was not included. I would like to hear your comments on the fact that this was not included in this very important text. The contribution agreement stated that the money would follow according to the criteria set out.
