—not appropriate, Madam Chair.
I want to apologize to any delegate who might be here in this situation. We had a similar situation arise a number of weeks ago. We have one member who is substituting for somebody else. A couple of weeks ago, when it happened, the member who was substituting was a francophone. It's with no disrespect to you that I'm not personally in favour of this. We're a country that supports and advocates the use of both official languages. When we have a presentation, it has to be in both official languages so that we don't put somebody on the spot if they happen to show up and want to participate and their first language is French.
I won't say anything other than that.
