Thank you, Mr. Nadeau, for giving us an idea of the passion the people there have for language.
I'm going to go back to what happened with my colleagues earlier. It has to be said that it was the third or fourth time the chair had repeated during this meeting that members are entitled to ask the questions they want without being interrupted.
It also has to be said that it has never been customary for the committee to sit so often in camera for motions. It has to be said that this is a Conservative custom that is starting now, in this 41st Parliament. I frankly think the government party doesn't want to have to defend the decisions made here for Canadians. When we sit in camera, we can't even talk about what has been brought to the table and what has been rejected.
I'm going to start by putting some questions to the RDÉE people.
During the 40th Parliament, a study on linguistic duality in the north was started and has not yet been completed. We think it should be completed. We would simply have to go and visit Nunavut. Do you think that completing it and submitting a report to Parliament would help you with economic development in the north? Would that help you to know exactly the status of linguistic duality?
