Thank you for the question, Mr. Chair.
The reality is that we have clearly outlined our priorities based on community consultations. If you get a sense of frustration from the person who was delivering, I guess you would get the same sense from the frustration with respect to the action plan that we believe should be addressed. Rather than concentrate on my individual frustration, I would prefer...we have clearly identified our community needs, and we are asking for your support in allowing us to work in partnership to develop these community needs, which are representative of the communities we represent.
I should point out that Quebec Community Groups Network officially represents 51 community associations across the province, some sectoral and some regional. They have all had input into our objectives. We are here today, and we appreciate the opportunity to be here, to work toward a collaborative realization of the recognition that the English-speaking communities need and desire. We want to be recognized as a community working within communities, but we have very specific needs that we and our community partners have outlined with respect to economic development and education. We will concentrate on those, and we ask you to pay attention to what we believe our community needs. These are not things that have been pulled out of the air. They have been developed through community consultation. We know we have made these available to you.
Thank you for the question, and of course my director general will add to what I have said.
