I would not have been left out, but it might have taken a little longer for us to meet.
However, I want to reiterate that as an officer of Parliament, it's important to maintain a certain distance from the government, particularly to guarantee impartiality. I believe that my opinion is important, given the experience of my Office. However, what we contribute is based on our past and our expertise. So I feel the Minister would have invited us to talk about official languages and the next draft of the act, but we invited them to meet first in letters to congratulate several ministers and colleagues.
