Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Once again, I'd also like to thank the witnesses for being with us today.
I also want to thank Ms. Warten and Mr. Rifai for their testimony and for making points that are important for all of us as MPs to hear. I appreciate you being with us here today.
Mr. Rousseau, earlier this year you appeared before this committee to take part in our study on what measures should be taken to protect French in Canada and Quebec. You compared the approach based on the territoriality principle with the one based on the personality principle.
Bill C‑13 has a territorial component whereby the government will adopt by regulation certain measures permitted under the act and apply them to regions with a greater francophone presence.
In your view, how effective will it be to adapt certain measures by regulation rather than amend the law?
