Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
If we look back at our history in the committee, we did have instances where we were handed documents and they were in one language only. The idea here is to strengthen it. It mentions “including motions”, but it also clarifies that “The Clerk shall advise all witnesses appearing before committee of this requirement.” In the old way it just said that witnesses be advised accordingly. This is trying to strengthen it so that the witnesses know, because we are quite aware there are two official languages in Canada. It's only fair that we have equity in the committee so that somebody who does require the French documents have them, or the English documents, as it would be, in a reasonable amount of time, too.
