Amendment BQ-10 proposes to amend the bill by adding a new clause after line 12 on page 8.
The act says that the Governor in Council may make regulations for the purpose of section 22 prescribing the circumstances in which there is significant demand.
In fact, this would remove paragraph 32(1)(d), which says that the Governor in Council may prescribe circumstances, in relation to the public or the travelling public, for the purpose of section 24.
The purpose of amendment BQ-10 is to guarantee the availability of services in French in Canadian federal institutions that operate outside Canada. This is necessary to ensure better representation of the French fact outside Canada and to avoid francophones on missions outside the country who want to interact with Canadian federal institutions being discouraged from doing so because of a language barrier.
