I have two questions.
First, could this language have unintended consequences for interpretation of the Official Languages Act?
Second, what the amendment basically does is define the language communities, since it refers to both the English-speaking community in Quebec and French-speaking minority communities in other provinces and territories. Those communities obviously have different needs, but within a province, every community has different needs. In my riding, for example, the Prescott and Russell area is mainly French-speaking, but other communities in Ontario have different needs.
In short, I want to be sure that this language does not impact the other provisions in the bill or the other sections in the Official Languages Act.
