Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to clarify the following.
One media outlet wrote that the Use of French in Federally Regulated Private Businesses Act, the UFPBA, is a carbon copy of Bill 101. However, it is far from a carbon copy. It specifies that if there's no compliance, the minister may refuse to issue a francization certificate. I'm a bit surprised that the minister will directly enforce the law, because they could have a conflict of interest. Normally, the Office québécois de la langue française has some degree of independence, though it's not perfect. However, in this case, the minister practically enforces the law.
