Okay. In any case, if you want to submit a brief, feel free to do so and send it to the clerk, who will distribute it to committee members. It's really important.
I have one last question, with 30 seconds left on the clock.
In studies that have been done since I have been a member, witnesses have often described the kind of situation you find yourselves in. Doesn't that encourage the provinces and territories to disengage from the work they have to do? It seems so easy to say that if the provinces don't deliver what they should, the federal government will take care of it. Isn't that really the message that would be sent to the provinces and territories that aren't very disciplined when it comes to official languages?
