Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Minister.

Mr. Minister, I will make this short, I am from New Brunswick, which is an officially bilingual province. As you know, we voted for Bill C-232, the objective of which is to require Supreme Court of Canada justices to be bilingual.

Considering the position taken by parliamentarians in a free vote in the House of Commons, I would like to know what you have in mind. Do you see yourself agreeing to implement that bill?
