Well, that's fine on that piece.
But don't you think that the Standing Committee on Official Languages which regularly advises the government on the future steps and the development of new regulations, policies and statutes, should at least have been consulted and called upon to seek testimony and hold a frank and open discussion on the issue?
If things had been done that way instead, the committee could have submitted an opinion to the government which, in turn, may have made a more enlightened and less rushed decision.
