Thank you for your question, Mr. Housefather.
I would like to remind members of this committee that we are in clause 3, which is the object of the Official Languages Act and, therefore, its goal and intention.
We are looking at an additional paragraph that would state that we are guaranteeing the existence of a majority French society in Quebec where the future of French is assured. In this case, it could lead to confusion to really focus on one of the official languages in the object of the legislation for maintaining and promoting both official languages in Canada.
It's a bit asymmetrical, in this case, to say that the objective of this legislation is to guarantee a majority of French society in Quebec.
