Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to clarify my remarks of the February 15 meeting. Unfortunately, a misunderstanding occurred, and some members were offended by what I said. I had no intention of suggesting that Mr. Guimond or his colleagues are racist. I do not believe that he is and I did not intend to suggest that he is.
I regret that my remarks came across in that way. I apologize to my friend and his colleagues for this misunderstanding and I hope we can continue to work constructively on vital matters of transport, infrastructure, and communities at this committee.
Thank you.
