Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank all of the representatives of the translation bureau for being here with us again.
The committee's recommendation was to have representatives from Public Services and Procurement Canada appear to answer our questions on behalf of the Honourable Judy Foote. This is what we had requested. I understand that she cannot be here because she is travelling or has other commitments at this time. We would have therefore liked to have the deputy minister appear in order to ask her more general questions on governance and find out the department's role in relation to the translation bureau?
Mr. Chair, I don't know whether the other committee members would like you to find out what happened and why no one is appearing on behalf of the Honourable Judy Foote today, as we had requested.
