Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Beaudry, why did the government decide that in Quebec, the law applies to businesses with 25 or more employees, as provided for in the Charter of the French Language, but that elsewhere in Canada, the threshold is set at 100 or more employees?
In Manitoba, do you think it would be realistic to apply the use of French in federally regulated private businesses act to businesses with 25 or more employees? Is there a sufficient number of francophone staff there?
