I'm getting there, Mr. Chair.
I simply want to describe the extraordinary work done by my colleague on behalf of francophones outside Quebec, and even in Quebec.
There is at the moment a property-related situation. I'd like to congratulate Ms. Marie-Pierre Lavoie, the chair of the Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique, the CSFCB, who has been working hard on this. There is a problem at the moment in British Columbia with access to real property in Canada. That's why I wanted to congratulate her.
It's worth remembering that the last witness before we began to discuss Bill C‑13 was Mr. Denis Chartrand, who has spent his life working on many issues, including access to federal real property. Mr. Chartrand will be retiring soon. As he has already said so, I'm not revealing anything new, but I just wanted to thank him for his work and his dedication to francophones outside Quebec.
I would now like to propose a subamendment to amendment Lib‑20.
