Mr. Speaker, there have been discussions among the parties, and if you seek it, I believe you will find unanimous consent for the following motion:
That the House express its concern about the closure of 28 French language programs and the layoff of some 100 professors at Laurentian University in Sudbury;
That it reiterates its solidarity with the Franco-Ontarian community; and
That it recalls the essential role of higher education in French for the vitality of the Franco-Canadian and Acadian communities.
