Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think I said all I had to say about clause 4 on Tuesday. I cannot believe the government wants to strike this clause, the principle of which is that the persons appointed on an interim basis to an agent of Parliament office, or to one of the 10 offices set out in the bill, must be bilingual. It is simply brushing aside this clause respecting interim appointments.
This is important in our view. The Commissioner of Official Languages said the same thing. Even the QCGN was clear on the matter: either you are bilingual or you are not; either you accept bilingualism or you do not. Even that group of Quebec anglophones has strongly accepted it, as has the francophone group the FCFA.
That is our position, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
