Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to both witnesses for appearing before the committee and sharing their ideas for improving Bill C-13 and helping the official language minority communities across the country to move forward.
I'll start with you, Mr. Normand.
You mentioned cooperation with the provinces and favourable conditions. You said we should review some of the policies set forth in Bill C-13. I'd like you to tell us more about that.
The provinces' jurisdiction over education and the federal government's role obviously have to be considered. Your members include many post-secondary educational institutions. Without encroaching on provincial jurisdictions, how could the federal government take part in the process without really telling them what to do?
With respect to post-secondary education, Laurentian University and Campus Saint-Jean are obviously facing some significant challenges.
Do you have any suggestions for amending the bill and helping the federal government work with the provinces?
