Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I am always impressed whenever I meet with members of Quebec's anglophone community. You definitely have the fighting spirit. It is often said that francophones have Latin blood. You do too, for that matter.
Quebec does not recognize your status as a minority community; that's a fact. I used to work for the Quebec government, so I am familiar with the situation. The information we have is necessarily skewed. The province recognizes that English is your mother tongue but not the fact that you are rights-holders. Is that right? Some of you are considered rights-holders in Quebec, but for the most part, that isn't the case. The data provided by the province is therefore skewed, in Quebec.
Mr. Tabachnick, you mentioned discussions that were going on at Treasury Board. We met with people from Statistics Canada, and we talked to them about the census questions. I didn't quite understand what you said about the Treasury Board discussions. Could you explain that again?
