You are right. For the benefit of new members, the Standing Committee on Official Languages has a steering committee that is made up of a representative from the government and one representative from each of the three opposition parties, as well as myself. This committee remains as it is. The motion is very specific, it has to do with parties and not with individuals. By the way, Mr. Rickford is now a member of the steering committee. I think that he represents the government, but I will have to verify this. It is up to you.
Welcome, Mr. Parliamentary Secretary, to the Standing Committee on Official Languages. I also welcome my friend Guy Lauzon who is back, and Royal Galipeau who is also back with us, and Mr. Murphy who came previously from time to time and who is now permanently with us. He is an ardent defender of the promotion of linguistic duality, and it is good to know that.
