Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Commissioner, thank you for joining us this morning. It is a good opportunity for you to talk about your concerns about the 2017 celebrations, I feel. Calling on expertise, finding solutions and determining what Canadians want is part of this committee's role. From that perspective, everything you share with us is important.
You gave us a wonderful historical presentation this morning. One thing in particular struck me. When something is going well, we often do not hear about it. When it is going badly, we hear it loud and clear.
Do you have an idea about the number of things that are going well as a proportion of those that are going badly? Do the 1% of things that are going badly make it seem as if 50% of the system is going badly? Do we have to look at the big picture and see that a lot of work is being done in both official languages, representing a lot of effort, but that it is still disappointing when something does not go well? When something goes badly, things get so amplified that you get the impression that there is never a way out.
