I saw that there are already motions on the table and that we could begin discussing concrete topics immediately. A number of those motions are laudable, and we should discuss them.
However, I would like to suggest that we start at the beginning, since the committee has several new members. I would like to hear from people on the ground, such as the representatives of the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada. I would also like to hear from the Deputy Minister of Canadian Heritage, as well as from Graham Fraser. I know that my colleague had also proposed a motion on that issue.
All those people who work on the ground could elaborate further on issues they are facing. When the time comes for us to set the order of business for next year or beyond, we will be better equipped thanks to those individuals' testimony. That will be better than establishing a list now and confining ourselves to it, when there may be other issues we are not familiar with and could obtain insight on. We could start with more general topics, over the next few meetings. I wouldn't want that to take up a whole month. From there, we could discuss more specific issues.
