Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I apologize to my colleagues for this misunderstanding.
The initial motion would begin with the amendment I am proposing. Then it would read:
“That the Committee undertake a study on the government's decision”.
Everything else would follow.
That is what I propose as context. We have talked about diligence and the idea of seizing the opportunity to study not only an organization, but also how the government is holding its own with respect to official languages.
We have talked about the importance of bilingualism in Canada and the role of the government in awarding contracts. We have talked about section 37, but the Standing Committee on Official Languages should also look at the issue a little more generally at the same time.
