Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I'm briefly going to talk about two things.
First, commissioner, I'm going to make a wish. I'd like your office, if it wishes, to examine a memo. This is a memo that was submitted to us by our researcher, Ms. Lecomte, on May 4, note 4 on page 2, and I'll leave it with you. It states: The Policy on Alternative Service Delivery changed on April 1, 2007. It was replaced [we're talking about policies that apply to the Treasury Board, to all the departments] by the Policy on Reporting of Federal Institutions and Corporate Interests to Treasury Board Secretariat. The new policy contains no guiding principles respecting official languages as stated in Annex C of the former policy.
So the previous reference to official languages has been completely deleted. Your office could perhaps take a look at that, because I believe this will have an impact on official languages, since we want to look to the future.
Second, I love reprimanding Ms. Glover. Commissioner, I maintain my position that the minister, when he appeared before us, insinuated that you had a position contrary to yours. All I said was that I am very pleased you clarified your position with regard to Mr. Godin's bill on bilingualism in the Supreme Court. Commissioner, I maintain that what the minister insinuated was not right. I am pleased—and I remain so—that you clarified and maintained your position: what this bill can do for Canada is good.
I'll give the rest of my allotted time to Mr. D'Amours.
