First, Mr. Chair, you'll appreciate that it's new for all parliamentarians to be working on regulations. The last time there were regulations for the Official Languages Act, they weren't discussed here, because the committee had decided that. Right now, however, we have decided to study it because we want to improve it.
Second, would it be possible to update us on the list of witnesses for the part of the act that concerns us, namely, part VII? We'd like to know if we have any witnesses left and how many meetings we have left. Based on the work that has already been done, we should have a schedule to see if there is room to hear other witnesses. There was a request and my colleague asked me to explore the possibility of adding a witness.
Personally, I'm very open to that, but if it's not possible, I'm going to ask that we use the witness's testimony at the Standing Senate Committee on Official Languages, that we add it to our evidence and that it be considered in drafting our recommendations.
