Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is just a short comment. First, I will start off with the comments from my colleague for Deh Cho, with regard to her travel. I am not going to get into specifics, just generality, Mr. Chairman, I understand the confidentiality of clients and so forth. My understanding is that, when the Languages Commissioner went on this trip, or on her way back from a trip, she had an appointment with this Francophone Parliament, here in Yellowknife, and they were disappointed for her cancelling that engagement. On the other hand, she had an issue that she wanted to deal with in Saskatoon. It appears that this issue was of great significance to her, that she decided to cancel this other one. Unfortunately, the Languages Commissioner didn't go to that either. Why didn't she attend to that issue that she identified in Saskatoon? My understanding is that she never did make it there. She admitted that she didn't go to Saskatoon. I am wondering why. If it was of great significance to her that she decided to cancel this other engagement that she previously had to attend this important issue in Saskatoon, then why didn't she go? My understanding from her comments is that she didn't make it there either. Why? Was there an urgent matter that took precedence over her schedule?
