Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Fraser, and thank you to the members of your team.
In speaking about your new vision concerning official languages, you say that—and correct me if I am wrong—you want to engage in promotion and assistance work, rather than entering into conflict. I think you understand what I am saying. There is a new vision at the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages. Rather than finding the guilty party, you want to work together to resolve problems.
On the one hand, in your annual report, it is stated: "Two Official Languages, One Common Space." On the other, this morning, in the National Post, you could read the following:
Should Mr. Godin's bill pass the Senate, the Supreme Court would become so unreflective of this country’s people it would rapidly lose credibility as a national institution.
I would like to conclude with the following point. The senator in the Upper Chamber, Mr. Mockler, who claims to be a defender of francophones and bilingualism, is telling members, or senators, that the people they represent will never have the chance to be appointed to the Supreme Court if they vote for the bill.
