Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I very much appreciate the conversation we are having today.
I really liked what my colleague said about the contract that was signed in terms of the federal government's commitment and its obligation regarding official languages. If you are at all familiar with my background at the provincial level, you know how important I see bilingualism, here in Canada and particularly outside Quebec.
Someone talked about seizing the opportunity. I would like to try to start a conversation with a view to improving the original Conservative Party motion.
Mr. Chair, if I may propose an amendment to the initial motion by my colleague Mr. Godin, for whom I have a great deal of respect, perhaps that will provide Mr. Green with an answer. We have not really had a chance to talk to each other because of COVID-19. Furthermore, I am new to the federal government.
I will read the amendment in both official languages.
Madam Clerk, I would like to submit copies.
Mr. Chair, may I read the amendment I am proposing?
