Thank you.

I don't think there's much more I could add. It is a legislative policy choice to mention and highlight the Charter of the French Language.

Yes, one could be exhaustive. It would be a very long provision if that were the case. Already, the opening words, with the use of the word “including” is sufficient, in our view, from a legislative point of view. The policy is a matter for political actors.

Thank you.
