Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to welcome Ms. Bernard and Mrs. Salesse. It is a great pleasure to see you here.
It is regrettable that, after our visit to Yellowknife and Whitehorse, the Standing Committee on Official Languages was not able to table a report in the House of Commons. Our committee held a cross-Canada tour, which ended in the north. But because of the elections, we were not able to prepare a report. We could have gone back and drafted a report, because we had the same clerks and analysts. It might have been of assistance to you and it could have shone some light on the situation in the north for Parliament and the government. I hope that our committee will be able to go back to it some day. It is a shame that $100,000 was spent. That amount of money could have helped the francophone community. I wanted to say that for the record.
You mentioned a figure of 58%. If I am not mistaken, the government does not want to spend more than 58% for administration. You explained that things are different in other places. Does it just happen at CanNor? I would like to have a better explanation of that.
