Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank my colleague, Mr. Samson, for his amendment. It was drafted according to the rules, based on the committee's authority to vote. We all agree that Mr. Drouin's comments were unacceptable. We have all said so. Mr. Drouin apologized to both witnesses seven times. I don't know what more the opposition wants.
Today, I thought that we would…. Mr. Chair, you put the study of the economic development of official language minority communities on the agenda.
I'll try to keep my comments positive. I find it a bit odd that the opposition says that the way forward is to hold meetings. We need to prepare amendments. We also met with the minister for a study on the funding of post‑secondary institutions. However, the Conservatives asked him only one question.
