Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to welcome Minister Moore to the Standing Committee on Official Languages.
My first question is about Bill C-419. I am pleased that the government has changed its approach and that it has now recognized that skill in both official languages is essential for certain positions, specifically for agents of Parliament.
Mr. Minister, we remember clearly that you do not support this bill. You have even said that it is useless.
Do you think that our bill is useless, yes or no?
