Thank you, Chair.

Thank you, Mayor Brown, for attending.

I want to follow up on something you said that I found quite interesting. You said that you were involved in a conference call where MP Rempel Garner—and this was in answer to Mr. MacGregor's question—raised the concern, which also came from the consul general, that they were not comfortable with you using the term “Sikh nation”.

Are you suggesting, or is it your understanding from that call, that someone spoke to MP Rempel Garner and raised the consul general's concern about the language you used during the campaign?
