Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Just to clarify, I would like to point out to my colleague that I never said the report was a collection of horror stories. At the same time, you must admit that, in some reports—not to say in many of them—there were some horror stories.
I would like to join with my colleague, Mr. Lauzon, in commending you for your leadership and the inspiration you have given the government as a whole when it comes to official languages. I very much appreciate the fact that you referred to the negative impact, more than 15 years ago, of the closing of the Royal Military College in Saint-Jean. I was personally offended that a college bearing my name would be shut down. Joking aside, however, this did have consequences for the administration of the Official Languages Act. Those consequences have been visible every single year since. That is extremely unfortunate. And yet, the government that made that decision was supposedly supportive of official languages.
Since we're talking about the military, I would like you to tell me if staff knows whether the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages was asked for advice before the Royal Military College in Saint-Jean was shut down.
