Good morning, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Dupuis, I am always very pleased to see you and to be able to discuss bilingualism, the francophonie and English-speaking communities with you.
We are government representatives, and I noticed yesterday that the Prime Minister had made his speech in the House in English only. I was in the lobby, and as a member, that made me a bit angry and very surprised. I wanted to share that with you. I think in fact that all francophones were surprised since they expected to hear both official languages. On the matter of linguistic duality, it's important to remember that there are francophones everywhere in the country.
I liked your brief very much. You talk a great deal about Part VII of the OLA, as well as about an official languages tribunal. You have indeed just shown us a little chart with some nice words, but I would like you to explain it in greater detail.
