We are resuming meeting number 38 of the Standing Committee on Official Languages, which suspended November 17.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of Thursday, June 23, 2022. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application.
Today we are resuming debate on Mr. Serré's motion, regarding Mr. Godin's amendment and Mr. Beaulieu's subamendment. May I remind you that the committee must proceed in reverse. First, it must vote on Mr. Beaulieu's subamendment. Then we will move on to Mr. Godin's amendment. Finally, we will discuss the main motion, from Mr. Serré.
To avoid confusion, I'll do a recap: we had agreed to deal with each point of Mr. Beaulieu's proposed subamendment separately. We were at the first point, and I think we were coming to the end of the comments on that. I may be wrong, but in any case Mr. Beaulieu had the floor.
Before I give the floor to Mr. Beaulieu, I would like to inform the public that, for technical reasons, we will adjourn meeting 38 today, whatever happens. When we reconvene next Thursday, we will resume the debate exactly where we left off at the end of today's meeting. I promise you that. However, for technical reasons that make things rather complicated, we will have to adjourn the meeting today, come what may.
Mr. Beaulieu, you have the floor.
