Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In response to the honourable member, I would say that it's not about doing things the easy way. Canada is a bilingual country. We speak English and French. This isn't about how easy something is to do.
In his letter, Deputy Minister Tremblay asks the committee for indulgence. It's as though speaking French and having equal access to the information is asking for charity.
I think this goes beyond what's easy. This has to be a priority.
I have a suggestion. Although I'm not a regular member of the committee, I would like to propose an amendment that the report be updated to reflect the official languages issue. I think it's important to have it in there. We could refer to the documents provided by Employment and Social Development Canada, or ESDC, to illustrate the point.
