I'll take 30 seconds or less.
The English-speaking community of Quebec and its supporting public partners have invested significantly in establishing our community's priority areas. We have shared those with this committee, and we invite the Government of Canada to consider them as the criteria that our community expects to be used in establishing the measures and priorities of public support.
We would like to thank the Government of Canada for its ever-increasing efforts to understand our unique community and support our collective vitality. We as a community acknowledge and pledge to continue our reciprocal obligation to work collaboratively with our federal partner, providing clear, evidence-based development priorities that will directly benefit the nearly one million Canadians who are proud members of the English-speaking community of Quebec.
Finally, we would encourage this committee to follow the lead of your colleagues in the Senate and come to Quebec to visit our communities. Do not rely on assumptions or myths. Come to see us for yourselves. You are welcome.
Thank you for the extended time.
