The purpose of amendment BQ‑1 is to correct a defect in Bill C‑40, which fortunately prescribes certain requirements for the commissioners who would be appointed to the commission but unfortunately omits the requirement to ensure that those commissioners are clearly able to speak and understand both official languages.
The Barreau du Québec raised this point in the brief it submitted to the committee. I think this is an important argument that must be taken into consideration. We propose that it be included in the bill.
I believe the amendment is self-explanatory.
