This amendment is along the same lines as the previous one, from our Conservative colleague Mr. Godin. We propose that Bill C-13, in Clause 14, be amended by adding after line 32 on page 8 the following:
(2) The deputy head or other administrative head of any federal institution and the chief executive officer of any corporation subject to the Act must, at the time of their appointment, be able to speak and understand French clearly.
The purpose of this is to prevent situations like the one that occurred at CN, which did not have any francophone senior administrators.
