I agree with what Mr. Larocque said. If the white paper is an opportunity to base the modernization of the Official Languages Act on a broader conversation about the place of official languages in Canada's machinery of government, then there's a significant amount of discussion to be done.
It may involve other statutes and regulations. I'm eager to see what kind of white paper Minister Joly is preparing. However, that won't prevent the modernization of the Official Languages Act. This committee and the Standing Senate Committee on Official Languages have already done background work on the modernization of the act.
