Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It seems now that the Liberals do not recognize that Mr. Brock published apologies, in French and in English, after speaking in the House of Commons. So he did two things to acknowledge his mistake.
Nonetheless, the Liberals do not accept the member's apologies because they were not made in the House of Commons, even though the Speaker did not request that, which doesn't suit them.
On Mr. Brock's page on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, there is a message saying, “Thank you, Larry”, regarding his apologies. Do you know that comment was posted at 4:49 on the very day that Mr. Brock apologized? That comment was by the Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos. The person directly concerned by my colleague Larry Brock's apologies thanked him for apologizing. I want to point out that he apologized in both official languages and that Mr. Brock acknowledged the right of every member of Parliament to speak French or English during parliamentary proceedings.
Nobody is perfect. I can give you a list of what the Liberals have done to show that they have neither the willingness nor the intention to protect the French fact in Canada, that is, French and English bilingualism in Canada. We could talk about the Governor General, but I'll stop here. I think people get the idea. We can come back to that.
That said, all members of the committee have received another indication of the Conservatives' good faith on the official languages. Mr. Chair, you received two letters that the clerk distributed this morning.
