I'd like to clarify one point. The witnesses we're talking about in point 1 are not Bloc Québécois witnesses. None of them are.
However, we do see them as important. If indeed, as indicated in the Speech from the Throne, the federal government has a responsibility to defend not only English, as has always been the case, but also French, then we need to hear from these witnesses and have a diversity of views to come up with something important.
