I have two points, actually.
My first is directed to you, Mr. Newman. You said this could be discussed at the Council of Ministers, but when drafting a bill, it is essential to minimize possible interpretations and ensure that the individuals' intention is reflected. Leaving it to the discretion of the Council of Ministers is exactly what we don't want. That is what we did in the past and the Council of Ministers has not really done its job over the past 52 years. That is precisely what created the current official languages situation and led us to conduct the present study.
Ms. Boyer, I understand what you said and it is legitimate. We are the legislator, not specialists in the application of laws.
If I understand correctly, what is being proposed is interesting, but the Commissioner of Official Languages, Parliament and the courts would have to be excluded for it to be acceptable, applicable and more effective, is that correct?
