I appreciate your points, Mr. Chair. They are good ones. However, it goes against what we agreed to in January on the usual functioning of committees. The problem here is that it gives an advantage to those who are fluent in both languages or in English, since many more organization reports are tabled in English first. This gives an advantage to English-speaking MPs over French-speaking MPs.
In the spirit of Parliament, it has always been very important to put all members of Parliament on an equal footing, regardless of the official language they speak. I understand that this may delay things for a month or two and that it is a disadvantage, but, in keeping with the principle of equality in terms of the languages used in Parliament, I would ask you to withdraw item 2.f.
