First, I'd like to recognize the importance of taking into account emergency situations and protecting Indigenous languages.
Our party is concerned about the proposed removal of certain provisions in the bill, such as the provision that reiterates the importance of the CBC's work in certain regions. As a member for a rural area in the North, I know that its services are vital to our communities, and even more so to official language minority communities. We take issue with the removal of these passages and therefore cannot support it.
