Mr. Chair, I'll start by welcoming our Commissioner of Official Languages.
Mr. Théberge, welcome to the virtual meeting of the Standing Committee on Official Languages. You're always welcome to meet with the committee, either in person or virtually, as is the case today. You can count on us.
I want to thank you for your presentation. I hadn't planned to start with the last budget issue that you raised, but I'll take note of it.
To sum up what I've just heard, you're sounding the alarm. You're saying that you've done your job with regard to the modernization of the Official Languages Act and that the committee has done its job. I have a letter here from the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada, or FCFA, urging us to proceed with the modernization of the act.
You said that you asked the Prime Minister to address the modernization issue and stressed the critical need to modernize the Official Languages Act.
What did the Prime Minister say?
