Pierre Lepage - I wrote a report on the outcome of the last five years. One of the reasons this works well is because there's a team in place. It's almost a family. And I think everyone is complementary, each person does his or her job. People don't realize. We come here to the school, to schools. People don't realize how much work is involved. Twelve hours on the road, and the drive between Sept-Iles and Québec is not easy. I always have a thought for the team so they don't have an accident while travelling or on their way home, especially in winter. There were also times when team members were absent. It happened in Schefferville because, some people, some parents were sick. And that's when you realize it's a team, because although two people were missing, two or three people, we were still able to go on and use innovation and creativity to make it work. I've been working at the Human Rights Commission for 26 years. This is one of the projects I'm most proud of. It is the project I'm most proud of. But I didn't carry out this project, we did it together. Alone, I can't do a thing. I'm the intermediary. I meet with teachers, I try to prepare the school, facilitate contacts. I'm really, I'm really... my role is really that of an intermediary.
