That's great. That's what I would like to have done, but there's no time left for him to ask a question.
My dear witnesses and committee members, that is all the time we have for the first part of the meeting.
On behalf of all the committee members and the skilled staff supporting us, I would like to thank the witnesses for your contributions. I would also like to tell you that, if any of you have not submitted a brief, you can still do so and send it to the clerk.
My thanks go to Mr. Poirier, who was here as an individual, but who was also a former member of the provincial legislature and a former President of the Assemblée de la francophonie de l'Ontario. Thanks also to Lynn Brouillette, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Association des collèges et universités de la francophonie canadienne, who was accompanied by Martin Normand, Director of Strategic Research and International Relations. My thanks also go to Luc Bussières, the Rector of the Université de Hearst.
I will suspend the meeting for a few moments, to give us time to welcome the new witnesses and do the sound checks.
A very good afternoon to our witnesses.
