Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I also thank the witnesses for being here with us today.
I'd like to begin by asking Mr. Boivin a question.
Mr. Boivin, when I was sitting on the standing committee on the status of women, we were told that there were problems with respect to legal services, including a shortage of lawyers.
Two months ago, the riding ofSarnia—Lambton acquired francophone designation in Ontario. At the moment, though, there are no legal services in French.
What would you suggest we do to obtain francophone lawyers for my city?
