I'd like to go back to the example cited by the first regional vice-president for Quebec of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, when he appeared before the committee. He said that conferences were often conducted solely in English and that documents were often in English only. I think that's just a matter of habit. Many federal employees have reported to us that, whenever they have a contact outside Quebec, it's very hard to work in French.
You propose that amendments be made to guarantee the right to work in French in federal institutions in Quebec. However, I can't think of any measure in particular. Could you discuss that with us a little more? As I see it, the majority language, English, will tend to predominate as long as French is not the common language in a given place.
Ms. Joly has previously said that measures would be taken for that purpose. What measures are you thinking of in particular? Exactly what are your suggestions?
