Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the minister for being here this morning, and especially for having made himself available to meet with us. You have a very busy schedule, and as I work with you, I know you are extremely available.
My questions will be brief. Unlike the opposition, I do not wish to waste any time in asking long questions preceded by long very partisan preambles. MPs from the governing party like to work in a constructive manner for official languages. I think you have made your mark since you've become Minister for Canadian Heritage. You have moved the issue of official languages forward and we are very pleased to work with you.
You recently tabled your mid-term report. Could you tell us about it?
