Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I too would like to thank the witnesses for being with us. I want them to know that their involvement will help us continue our work on this very important study.
My questions are for Dean Leckey.
Dean Leckey, first off, I think your introductory piece was exquisite in that you asked several very pertinent questions. I would invite you to not only file your introductory remarks but also pen to us, if you can, your opinions and your responses to the questions you brought up in your introductory speech. Again, I found it to be very pertinent.
We've heard some contradictory remarks from members of the opposition with regard to linguistic regimes and jurisdictions. While the opposition has asked the federal government to take a bigger role in the rest of Canada, when it comes to Quebec the opposition openly gives precedence to the National Assembly of Quebec to legislate on all linguistic matters. Can you speak to this overlap of linguistic regimes and speak to each level of government's jurisdiction with regard to official languages?
