I wanted to make a brief comment. We had already been advised by the Clerk's office that these amendments were out of order. Having said that, I want to point out that the issue of the bilingualism of the Governor General and the Lieutenant Governor has already been raised in committee. I share the concerns of my colleague, Mr. Godin. It is unacceptable that these two individuals do not speak our two official languages.
This is a matter of political will. We hope that governments will change their tactics in the future, to ensure that we have bilingual representatives in the highest positions in the country. We also recognize that there is a need for people who speak indigenous languages as well, as the Governor General does, but I hope that the message from the committee is that there needs to be a change in approach and that there needs to be political will, regardless of which party is in power.
