Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Minister, congratulations on your new position.
We have a lot of connections. My father attended Collège Saint-Jean in 1940 and then sisters and family...so there are a lot of connections there.
I know you addressed this a bit, but you were appointed in July and the mandate letters are still not out. We're hearing that this is a continuation of before. I think you mentioned that.
To me, that reflects a lack of organization, energy and vision of the government of the Prime Minister. It's a little disappointing. I would think that would influence you, too.
One reason we're here is to hear about your mandate.
Could you comment on that, please?
