Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question and her effort to speak French. It is wonderful. Perhaps I was not clear. Whenever my students did not understand something I had said, I would never tell them that they had misunderstood. I would say that I had misspoken. I never said that we need to maintain the barriers that women face when trying to teach or do research. On the contrary, I want to break down these barriers. Women make up half of Quebec's population. There should be no barriers to entry for students, regardless of the type of barrier. I have three daughters, and I do everything I can to make sure that they do not put any barriers in their way to do what they want to do in life. I work very hard on that. I raise my children to know that there are no barriers to their ambition, and I would like to see that everywhere.
