Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Amendment BQ‑37 proposes adding, at the end of subclause 39(1), in other words at the end of line 13 on page 18, that the corporation must provide its services in both official languages and in any indigenous language it considers necessary.
The objective is to ensure that all the participants in the commission, whether they speak French, English or an indigenous language, as a mother tongue or not, can sit on this commission, be fully effective, debate and play their role. Language must not be a source of discrimination that prevents anyone from participating in the commission.
