We recommended that a committee or organization be established and that is what we want to happen. It must include someone who represents the official language communities. I have heard my colleagues everywhere say the same thing.
I do not want a celebration that someone on the other side of the country is going to organize. We want to be involved. We want to be there. We want to help organize it. We want to participate and contribute.
Our francophone communities, our young people and our seniors want to be there. We want to be part of the decision-making process. That is how we view our role. We do not want to just be consulted and then told what to do. We want to be there and to contribute.
