Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
I was also quite surprised to hear these excerpts. Perhaps it was simply translated by a computer without being reread afterwards. If one cannot reread something that has been written, or one doesn't have access to skilled people who can do this, if one cannot ensure that documents being sent out are truly written in the language of the recipient, then we have a serious problem, Mr. Fraser. We have been fighting for a long time. I personally am still fighting. I still send you complaints because colleagues, members or ministers send me mail written only in English. Yet they are perfectly aware that we have the necessary resources to have our texts translated into both official languages. Everyone knows I am francophone, I'm a francophile, and I sit on the Standing Committee of Official Languages. Yet this happens again and again.
According to what you said in your statement you would like your authority to have maximum clout. We would like it too. I know that your authority is an authority to make recommendations.
What more can we do in order for you to be given further authority so that you can do more?
