Thank you, Mr. Chair. By the way, Mr. Lightbound chairs the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology, and I have to congratulate you, because food here is better. However, Mr. Lightbound is more generous with the time he gives us to ask questions, and he doesn't cut us off. I think that should be taken into consideration.
Thank you to the witnesses.
Good afternoon, Mr. Tuyishime. I hope you're doing well. You just said, in concluding your testimony, that the education continuum must be of the best quality, from early childhood to university. Given your conclusion, do you feel that this is not the case in your region right now? If so, is it because education doesn't get enough funding? You will certainly answer in the affirmative. If that's the case, is it more specifically due to inflation? The other witnesses we heard—you may have heard them as well—told us that inflation had played a significant role in reducing the amounts spent on francophone education.
