First of all, I take exception to the references Ms. Lalonde has just made to the informal committee. One of the reasons for this may be that many people weren't present at the beginning and didn't fully understand the discussions.
I do indeed consider that we must work together. However, there has already been the study by the Commissioner of Official Languages that deals with services offered in both official languages during the pandemic. The FCFA has also done a study on this subject. In my opinion, there is an urgent need to consider a new point of view in the wake of the Speech from the Throne. That's why I'm maintaining my proposal. We'll be able to receive the witnesses who have already been invited next Tuesday, but we should then proceed with the study. If we want this to have an effect on the modernization of the Official Languages Act, which is urgent, I believe we should move quickly on this study.
