Monsieur Carrier, members of the public, as I've just said, have a right to communicate with parliamentary committees in either official language. Francophones can choose to present in either official language, as anglophones can.
That is the rule of the Parliament of Canada according to the Constitution Act and the Official Languages Act, and I'm not going to allow members of this committee to question members of the public who present in either official language.... They have the right to do so. That is a fundamental right in Canada.
