We should make a distinction between CN's obligation under the law and the makeup of the board. You have heard me here today speak very clearly in opposition to how CN appointed its board members from a leadership standpoint, but the law is silent on this issue. Having said that, we are here today learning from that shortcoming and there is an ongoing discussion about CN's responsibility. CN has acknowledged that this should not have happened.
I'm looking forward to the committee's study and report on this, but again, I'm not going to shy away from doing everything I can to defend the interests and the rights of Quebeckers to speak and work and receive service in the language of their choice.
I will encourage CN not only to uphold the law—its obligation under the law—but also to go beyond that to ensure that they are promoting and protecting the rights of French and those who work at CN.
