Only 30 seconds, Mr. Chairman? I can understand why my Conservative colleagues only want me to speak for 30 seconds, but...
Mr. Chairman, I believe that it is important to highlight the following situation. I hear comments from the government concerning its commitment to official languages and its desire to make sure that both official languages be respected. The reality is somewhat entirely different. Two weeks ago, we travelled to Eastern Canada and we heard the exact opposite during the entire trip.
That being said, I want to ask a question about Air Canada's Internet services. On the one hand, the government has reiterated its commitment to official languages, but on the other hand, Minister Cannon did not deem it important to mention in Bill C-11 that Air Canada's Internet services must be bilingual.
Mr. Dee, I'm sure you will agree with me on the following: a unilingual francophone will surely have difficulty making an on-line reservation if Air Canada's website is exclusively in English.
Therefore, I'm sure that you would agree with me if I were to say that if this obligation were built into the law, not much would change because Air Canada will continue to provide bilingual services for on-line reservations. I'm not mistaken by saying that Air Canada will continue to provide this service in the future, am I? I understand that the service already exists, but the minister does not believe that it is important enough to legislate bilingual service. Ultimately, if this were enshrined in to the act, it wouldn't be a problem for you.
