Mr. Chairman, I think we're adopting a principle. The committee might wish to agree to proceed otherwise if a group arrives with a document that has only been drafted in English or French. We could say that, if there is consensus, the committee members may... It all depends. Normally groups are advised. If a group consistently comes to us with documents drafted only in one of the official languages, then we could refuse to distribute that document. The circumstances would be different in the case of a group who comes here for the first time and is not aware of the fact that the document must be available in both languages. I would like us to agree on the principle while remaining flexible. For example, if we go to Halifax and a women's group appears before us with a document only drafted in English, I will certainly not turn them away. However, if a group does this systematically, then perhaps I will object to their document being distributed.
Therefore I would like us to adopt the principle while agreeing to remain flexible when we are travelling.
