Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Larocque, Ms. Cardinal and Ms. Chouinard, you came and presented a brief to the Standing Committee on Official Languages during our last study on the modernization of the Official Languages Act in 2018 and 2019.
The committee has prepared a report on the subject, and we think the time for consultation is over; the government must act. My impression is that the white paper is a stalling tactic designed to delay tabling of the bill. In fact, government members essentially confirmed in the House yesterday that there will be a new round of consultations.
How would you characterize the work the committee has done on modernizing the act? Do you think the consultation was enough for the government to table a bill? What updates might be necessary in view of the health crisis?
Mr. Larocque, do you have any comments on the subject?
