Official Languages committee  First, I would like to know who next Tuesday's witnesses will be. I recommend that we invite the witnesses who were here on May 17 last. I would like them to come back.

Official Languages committee  Fantastic.

Official Languages committee  I would like him to—

Official Languages committee  If an amendment has been moved, someone has to second it so that we can discuss it.

Official Languages committee  Mr. Chairman, I should not have talked about his amendment, because his amendment has not yet been seconded.

Official Languages committee  No.

Official Languages committee  Thank you.

Official Languages committee  It's an amendment.

Official Languages committee  Mr. Chairman, I think we are getting bogged down here. There will be four meetings on the Court Challenges Program, we will submit the names of witnesses to the clerk, and we will invite those witnesses. Never before have we expressly indicated that we would be inviting Jacques, Richard or any other specific persons.

Official Languages committee  I would like to comment on that amendment. I am against it, and I will tell you why. We are looking at the agenda, as we have always done in the past. We are planning future business. If we cannot see witnesses on the CBC issue in June, what will the repercussion be? They will already have received a notice to appear at a public hearing, so we will see them later, in the fall.

Official Languages committee  Mr. Chairman, I would like the CBC to get the message that we, just like communities in other parts of the country, refuse to accept certain things any more. As a francophone, as a Canadian and as an Acadian, I am eager to see something on the national news that does not just come from Montreal.

Official Languages committee  Not so long ago, Mr. Chairman, I was talking about Radio-Québec. I stopped talking about Radio-Québec, because a Quebecker told me that it wasn't Radio-Québec, but Radio-Montréal. Radio-Canada, the French-language network of the CBC, has the word Canada in its name and all Canadian taxpayers fund it.

Official Languages committee  I will not say much, because I think we are going on and on here for no good reason. In my opinion, the trip was not about the Court Challenges Program. Mr. Harvey said that he is not getting an answer to his question, but the thing is that we cannot answer it because we want the witnesses to do that.

Official Languages committee  The motion refers to the Société nationale de l'Acadie.

Official Languages committee  Since we are talking about amendments, Mr. Chairman—
