Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Ashton. Perhaps this will help me build, also, on trying to answer Monsieur Beaulieu's question.
I do agree that we have to do everything we can to protect French, and that the French language is under threat. Therefore, we need to ensure that we address all systemic issues and ensure that there are no obstacles to Canadians to receive services, or as an employee to work in a place of the language of their choice.
We will continue to modernize. There's a proposal right now to modernize the Official Languages Act, including providing the official languages commissioner with new tools that include the imposition of fines when failures occur. I will continue to do my part personally, and do more. We all have to do more.
I stand here humbly asking for more ideas from this committee. What else can we do to ensure that we protect the rights of all Canadians?
