Thank you for your questions, Ms. Ashton.
I'll piggyback on what Mrs. Cardinal said. It's absolutely necessary that the Official Languages Act be modernized, and it's all the more important that we consider the lessons from the pandemic.
You have before you four academics who will be delighted to read the white paper. It will be like a Christmas present for us. However, that mustn't delay the essential adoption of an official languages act. The consultation process and modernization studies began a long time ago. All that work has been done.
I'm one of the people who think that it's good to have a white paper but that it shouldn't delay the introduction of the bill.
