Mr. Chair, I do want to recognize the efforts of the new Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, and I know that he has spoken in the House about how the new government is working more collaboratively with the francophone community in terms of the ministerial directive. I know that it's been raised in the House here, about the importance of working with local education authorities collaboratively as well. This is an important motion, I know, for myself and my riding as Ecole Allain St-Cyr is in my riding, and I know that they are working with the new minister to address francophone education. I think having this in our mandate is a good thing and will provide some support for the Minister's ongoing activities in this area. So once again, I do want to thank the Minister for his efforts. Sometimes I don’t always say nice things about the other side of the House, but certainly I do want to recognize the efforts of the Minister, and all the Ministers, but in this case I think it's something I wanted to point out in particular. Thank you.
