Minister Foote, I'd like to say that, as a member, today I feel even more engaged in the democratic process. I always take risks in life, and I'll take another risk by saying the following. Our committee met with witnesses who spoke about an extremely important and fundamental subject for democracy, namely, bilingualism and the Official Languages Act. All members around this table, as politicians, have had the chance to reflect, play a key role and make recommendations. As you know, things don't always go as planned. In this case, your leadership is the fruit of our labour. Our work consisted of fuelling the debate. Your work consisted of taking the information that came out of the debate, analyzing it, interpreting it, incorporating it and making a difference for Canadians. To do so, there's no better time than the 150th anniversary.
I see Ms. Boucher is already starting to cry.
