I thank Mr. Ménard for this. The government certainly supports the nature of our country and the importance of both languages, and I agree with him 100% on the importance of the duality of French and English.
That said, I'm not going to support his motion because I think the minister has to have the latitude, and this would bind him not to appoint someone like Steve Sullivan. Steve Sullivan has been an advocate for victims for all these years. We heard testimony from the minister that he is going to be working on his French, and I commend him for that. Services from all bodies, whether they be government or whether they be the Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime, are going to be offered to people equally in both languages, but I'm not going to support this motion because it would mean that someone like Steve Sullivan, who I think is the person for the job, wouldn't be able to get it.
I think he should take this issue up with Justin Trudeau, though, on the overall issue of bilingualism. I think he should take it up with him. He was in my province a little while back and had some comments about it.
