First of all, Chair, that's not a point of order.
Secondly, I'm not talking to the opposition colleagues. I am commenting on their conduct here in the meeting and how unacceptable it is and how it's an embarrassment for this committee that they have conducted themselves so.
That they would call that a point of order just gives evidence to what I'm saying.
So I am saying that if a unilingual francophone likes speaking French and only French here, he can do so, he is entitled to speak French. The same thing applies to anglophones. We have the choice of speaking either of the two official languages or both, it is our choice. It is the choice of each and every Canadian.
Minister, there are approximately 72,000 bilingual positions in the public service. Sixty-eight per cent to 70% are found in the National Capital Region. Twenty per cent are in Quebec. I would like to know what the government is doing to ensure that all Canadians have equal opportunities to secure employment and be promoted within the public service.
