I appreciate that, Mr. Lawrence, I truly do. You know that I have goodwill on this.
My intent, colleagues.... Speaking as a Quebecker who represents a riding that is 50% French and 50% English, and having heard from Bloc members on multiple occasions that we typically brush aside translation as secondary, I will always get to a point of order.
If translation would allow members to better understand the issue at hand, I will always err on moving forward with the translation and then on ensuring that I can move to hearing whatever the members have to say. That's my default position on translation within the House. I just wanted to put that out there.
Mr. Lauzon, you have the floor.
