Yes, Mr. Chair, I have two quick questions.
I want to thank the witnesses for being here.
I am from Quebec, and I am appalled that it has taken 18 years for us to have an adequate translation of the Civil Code.
As a province, does Quebec also have the power to require that a response to a particular file be provided in both official languages? That is the first thing I would like to know.
Moreover, you mentioned that a professor had said that bilingualism was constitutional and that the Constitution would not have to be amended for that. However, different things are being said elsewhere. I would like to hear your opinion on that; it is very important. Differing opinions within government are normal. I am in favour of Supreme Court judges being bilingual, but people would have to agree on the constitutionality of that obligation.
Could you please comment on that?
