First of all, I would like to thank our witnesses for coming today.
Of course, I'm a francophone from Quebec, but I will try to practise my English a tiny bit with you.
I do appreciate this presentation. It really helps with my comprehension of your communities. I'm from a military family, so I have been in contact with the English-speaking community in Quebec. But it's still always good to have your point of view.
We found out earlier that the mid-term report on the roadmap is not public yet. It is therefore rather difficult to assess how things have gone.
In his 2010-2011 annual report, the Commissioner of Official Languages made the following comment on the development of the roadmap:
[...] the government must ensure that the problems surrounding the creation of the Roadmap 2008-2013—rushed development and last-minute adoption—are avoided at all costs, especially for the good of the communities it affects.
Could you talk to us about the problems you encountered during the creation of the roadmap?
