Thank you, Chair.
I support the substance of this motion. I would just ask for a small amendment that deals with the fact that members' offices often put forward routine communications to the committee that we do translate. Given resources in members' offices, I would move to amend the motion to add the words “a member's office” to the motion, so that the motion would read as follows:
That all documents submitted for Committee business that do not come from a federal department, or a member's office, or that have not been translated by the Translation Bureau be sent for prior linguistic review by the Translation Bureau before being distributed to members.
It's my understanding that this amendment has also been moved at every other committee as well and has been accepted.
