Mr. Chair, I have no problem doing this kind of study. Before going any further, however, I'd like to know about the experiences that these groups have had that have prompted a study on this subject. I think all the groups could share their experiences with us.
Are we going to hear from all groups in our society about their daily lives? Is this the right committee to do that? I wonder about that. I'm not opposed to this study, quite the contrary. However, we are opening the door to other similar requests from representatives of other groups, knowing that the schedule is quite full. In fact, it's full until the end of June, and we're just adding that to it. There may be other things that will be added, such as the study of other regulations, or other commissioners will resign and others will have to be appointed, for example.
I don't want this to be misinterpreted. I'm not acting in bad faith. I'm just wondering about the importance of opening the door to this kind of approach without knowing of any actual cases or situations that justify the need to undertake a study at the Standing Committee on Official Languages.
That's more or less the question I'm asking myself and putting to the movers of this motion. My colleague from the Bloc Québécois wants to fine-tune the motion. I want to participate in the debate and be constructive, but there's a lack of data.
