Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
It's a bit of a shame because Mr. Côté and I had split up our roles. After all, he's a doctor of constitutional law and the author of the book entitled Le droit linguistique au Québec and he has extensive expertise to speak to Droits collectifs Québec's perspective on the draft regulations.
He mentioned that the regulations overlap with the Charter of the French Language. I would like to add that currently, the federal government does not have an agency similar to the Office québécois de la langue française, which has the expertise to regulate business operations and compliance with the language regime. The federal government is imposing a redundant piece of legislation, yet Quebec has an agency with all the necessary expertise in this area.
As Mr. Côté noted, we have serious reservations about the draft regulations as currently drafted.
