Yes, but I'm not sure the two acts we dealt with at the same time are coherent.
You didn't talk about it in your opening remarks, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on another matter. You said you were going to make your presentation on the use of French by businesses outside Quebec, but I'd like to know what you think about the situation in Quebec.
When we studied the Official Languages Act modernization bill, it was suggested that Quebec be isolated and subject to the Charter of the French Language, since it has a special status in North America, being the only province where the common language is French. After last-minute negotiations, Quebec's minister of the French language, Mr. François Roberge, bowed to pressure, probably from the Liberals in power in Ottawa at the time, and gave Quebec businesses the opportunity to choose the regime to which they'd be subjected to.
Wouldn't that be a loophole for organizations? I think entrepreneurs would normally and justifiably choose the least restrictive regime. Isn't the impact dangerous in Quebec, among other places?
