Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, Minister and officials, for joining us today.
I'll switch gears a little bit. I'm really proud to represent a vibrant bilingual community. I'm from New Brunswick, which is our only constitutionally protected bilingual province.
Vote 1b includes $9.6 million “for the Translation Bureau to provide linguistic services to Parliament”. Can you speak about the importance of the translation bureau for minority-language communities like those in New Brunswick and also, in general, the importance of interpretation services for the workings of Parliament?
