Mr. Speaker, I do not know where the hon. member has been for the past few weeks or what he had that was more important to do. However, as Minister of International Cooperation and Minister for la Francophonie, I met with Mr. Diouf last March in Paris. This was my first official trip.
That said, the conference in Saint Boniface was a great success and allowed the Franco-Manitoban community to show its vitality.
