Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Davis did answer one of my questions.
I find my colleague's amendment very interesting. Indeed, we often complain about the obsolescence of our regulations and laws. I find it interesting to add the notion of digital creation, because this term is very broad and opens onto something else. What's more, it's inserted into a context that won't be without limits; it's still a visual arts approach. So we can't expect any slippage by including digital creations in Parliament's official visual artist bill.
I also find what Ms. Hepfner touched on earlier very interesting, when we debated my amendment. She talked about indigenous languages. Of course, the two official languages in Canada are English and French, but I think it's also very important to allow indigenous languages to live and be revived. Unfortunately, some indigenous languages have practically disappeared. They're still spoken by a few elders here and there, but they're not passed on to the younger generations. I think it's very important that we take this into account.
In my opinion, adding Canada's commonly used languages and ethnocultural makeup through this amendment reinforces the previously adopted amendment on alternating between French and English.
So I'm going to support this amendment because I think it's very inclusive. It also allows us to evolve over time without becoming a bit sclerotic with a law that won't respond to the reality of the visual arts in five or ten years.
Bravo!
