Thank you very much.

We don't want to hold this up. I do believe it is a serious issue to have this in the translation. To show that we are serious about that, the Conservatives would support unanimous consent in order to move forward to make sure we have the French, especially on a day when we're discussing Bill C-13 in the House. The Conservatives believe deeply that we are a bilingual country, and we must respect that.
