Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Madam Minister, thank you for your support for francophones in Northern Ontario. I sincerely thank you for working with Laurentian University to find a solution. In addition, I thank you very much for creating the Place des Arts du Grand Sudbury for the francophone and anglophone communities.
As a Laurentian University graduate, I was extremely upset, astounded and frustrated, when I learned of the cuts to Laurentian University that were announced on April 12. Many students and families have suffered the consequences.
Minister, in this committee, we often talk about responsibilities and roles. Right now, there is a working group that wants to make the University of Sudbury the French-language university of mid-north Ontario. What advice would you give to this task force?
