Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Madam Minister, I am speaking to you as a graduate of the Université de Montréal and of McGill University. Perhaps you can use that in your future comments.
Does the bankruptcy of Laurentian University not reveal that our whole post-secondary education system in Canada is underfunded? It's not just about programs for francophones in northern Ontario and Franco-Ontarians in general, is it?
I ask that question because I was asked the same one by the Canadian Association of University Teachers. They are afraid that this bankruptcy is the canary in the coal mine, as people used to say, meaning that it is the first example of the privatization of our post-secondary education.
What are your thoughts on that?
