Okay, it was on April 7. There you go.
There is something else. We talked about the last time she met with the Prime Minister. Her answer was also quite nebulous; we did not know exactly what to think about it. We had an answer on that. I understood that she had met with the Prime Minister during the election campaign. I may have misunderstood. That's why we wondered whether it was at a fundraiser. When she gave us her answer, she said it was at an event that took place in 2014, if memory serves. So I have some serious questions about the appearance of Madeleine Meilleur.
As you know, the controversy is ongoing right now. With each passing day, something new comes up, a new group adds its voice to those who have qualms about the appointment of Madeleine Meilleur. Recently, the FCFA met with all its members who asked what was happening with this appointment. The FCFA members were unable to unanimously agree on the choice of Madeleine Meilleur. So opinions are divided about the process, which is raising a lot of questions.
Recently, the Quebec Community Groups Network, or QCGN, also sent a letter stating that it was very concerned about the appointment process. Will Ms. Meilleur be far enough removed from the Prime Minister, far enough removed from the government, to be able to make impartial and fair decisions? I have major doubts about that.
All this is without mentioning the report about Michel Doucet in the media. I think you've all seen this out in the media and you all fell off your chairs, just like me.
After going through the entire process, Mr. Doucet was told that, if you are not close enough to the Liberal government, you stand no chance of being appointed Commissioner of Official Languages. That's beyond outrageous. It is absolutely incredible to hear that.
We are talking about a position of the utmost importance within the government and at the highest levels of government. We have learned that you have to be part of the Prime Minister’s inner circle to hope to get there. You have to meet with Gerald Butts and Katie Telford to get the position of Commissioner of Official Languages. There is a breach of trust in the process. This process is being questioned not only by the opposition parties—they are not the only ones questioning the process—but also—
