When the Commissioner of Official Languages tables a report, our committee has a tradition. Mr. Choquette brought forward a motion to that end. It reads as follows:
That the House of Commons Standing Committee on Official Languages invite Graham Fraser, Commissioner of Official Languages, to appear before a televised session of the Committee by June 1 to provide clarification on the report.
In my view, the wording “by June 1” poses a problem. Normally, we invite the Commissioner of Official Languages following the publication of a report. By order of priority, we need to finish the report on the translation bureau and, right after that, according to our standard practice, the committee should have the Commissioner of Official Languages appear following the tabling of his latest report. I will check with the clerk for possible dates.
Mr. Choquette, you have the floor.
