Mr. Chair, if the government party ends up getting what it wants after all this work we've done, we will have to pull a lot of witnesses from a very long list, and you will be the one bearing the consequences. Even Quebec Minister Roberge would like to testify before the committee. How will you go about saying yes or no to certain witnesses who want to come here, since we won't have enough time?
From a historical perspective, the work we're doing right now is really significant. I don't see what could be more important than our work to reform the Official Languages Act. Why move so quickly and then do a less meaningful job? What is the rush? Could it be that the party in power is hiding its intention to call an election and wants to finish this before then?
