Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Earlier I mentioned that there was a consultation on official languages yesterday. I would like to congratulate my colleague Mr. Bélanger, who was the instigator of that meeting. During that consultation, one of the speakers mentioned that we had to look for unity in duality and diversity. I believe that's good advice and that it should be one of our objectives. I believe the best way to lead is by example. So that stems from governance.
Going back to what was mentioned earlier about the right to work in one's language relative to the right to be served in one's language, the government is the biggest employer in Canada. For the employer, the fact that an employee who must serve people is able to respond to them should be one of the selection criteria. Rather than seeing any opposition, the one against the other, and always bearing in mind that we're looking for unity in all this, shouldn't the employer be responsible for ensuring that the employee is able to respond?
