Thank you, sir.
Thank you for the clarification, because it's very clear that it applies not only to federal institutions but also to companies that fall under federal jurisdiction.
I would like to bring an amendment to Mr. Ménard's motion. The amendment would be to the very last paragraph, the last line, so that instead of a period after the word “positions”, there would be a comma and the words, “as defined under the Official Languages Act”. The Official Languages Act has several sections that do in fact provide a definition of what strategic positions are, and a working knowledge of the official languages should be required of anyone occupying those strategic positions.
I would move that as a friendly amendment.
