Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Pelletier, I first want to tell you that it is a pleasure to see you again. I heard a speech you gave a decade or so ago at the Fédération nationale des conseils scolaires francophones. The speech, which dealt with the ways to support the relationship between Quebec and minority communities, was much appreciated. I want to recognize your leadership once more and to thank you.
The situation involving the Supreme Court judges affects the two founding peoples. The three judges from Quebec have to be able to speak both languages, of course. So do the other six judges. So we can say that the playing field is level.
I also want to congratulate Justice Rowe. If my information is correct, his knowledge of French was not very advanced two or three years ago. He has really concentrated his energy on learning and mastering the language, and he has succeeded. That's a concrete example. I will now ask my question.
If you were Prime Minister, which option would you choose, and why?
