Good afternoon, Mr. Alghabra. I congratulate you on your French, which has greatly improved. We can see you've had a good teacher, perhaps an even better one than Mr. Rousseau's. It's definitely hard to speak off the cuff, but you get used to it if you try.
I didn't mean to prejudge your ability at the time, but you spoke no French at all when Mr. Trudeau appointed you. Don't you think that sends a message? Earlier we mentioned the Governor General and the Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick. That happens quite frequently. Don't you think it sends a a strange message? It's pretty much what's happening at CN.
