Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank all three of you for being here today to help with our study.
I will read an excerpt from a letter we received:
The Liberals' rejection of the private member's bill on the bilingualism of Supreme Court justices was all the more surprising and disappointing in light of the fact that during the last election campaign, the Prime Minister presented the Liberal Party of Canada as the party of bilingualism, and also given that in the past, the party had supported a similar bill.
And I should in fact add that this happened on three occasions.
This letter was signed by nine very well known academic authors who are among the most eminent specialists on the matter.
My question follows up on this shocking quote. What constitutional specialists or experts told you that a constitutional amendment would be necessary for my bill to be implemented? Could you send their observations and recommendations to the committee?
