Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Mrs. Al-Waheidi.
Mrs. Al-Waheidi, it has been insinuated by the opposition and reported in the media that WE Charity wasn't able to provide services in both official languages in Quebec. I understand that you have an office in Montreal and that you work with many schools in the province.
Could you tell us about that?

WE Charity is a national organization. You are correct. We do have an office and staff in Montreal. We have worked with over 400 schools across the province of Quebec. We have also worked in various provinces with high speaking French communities. We have implemented 11 WE Days, and we engage hundreds and thousands of students as part of this process. We have bilingual activities and partnerships. We have formulated partnerships with school boards, and with other local organizations to help us in the process.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mrs. Marquez, I'm going to address you first. Excuse me, I'm going to start with Mrs. Al-Waheidi instead. I'm sorry, there are too many witnesses at the same time.
You told us that there were staff and offices in Montreal. How long has that been the case, Mrs. Al-Waheidi? I'm sorry, but I may have mispronounced your name.

Mr. Chair, I'm trying to answer the question. When the pandemic hit, because of the safety of our team we decided to make the decision that they needed to work from home. Like many other charities and many other organizations, we made this decision.

It may be in the wording throughout that contract. It may be in the “lawyer language”.
Mr. John-Frederick Cameron: Very true.
Mr. Peter Julian: You mentioned in response to questions from Mr. Fortin that you are unaware of National's being involved. Were you aware.... I know Katimavik. I have worked with Katimavik students. There's a fierce adherence to bilingualism across the country. Were you aware that the WE scheme actually didn't provide services in Quebec and wasn't going to provide bilingual services for francophones?
