All right. I had understood 31,000 when you made your presentation. I probably misunderstood. I just wanted to verify that it was indeed 61,000.
You will understand my concern after the following comments.
In our proceedings, the committee has often discussed the importance of accurately enumerating anglophone and francophone rights holders under paragraphs 23(1)(a) and (b) and subsection 23(2) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
In your last appearance before the committee, Mr. Corbeil, you explained that the process involved in asking the right questions and ensuring you cover the right things was a long one. In fact, you did not seem sure that all francophone rights holders in the rest of Quebec could be enumerated. I assume you must have had to conduct some tests to make sure you asked the right questions.
