The Chair has the immense advantage of having at hand a copy of House of Commons Procedure and Practice , edited by Mr. Marleau and Mr. Montpetit. I refer hon. members to page 372 of the work, which states:
All documents tabled in the House by a Minister or, as the case may be, by a Parliamentary Secretary, whether during a sitting or deposited with the Clerk, are required to be presented in both official languages.
That requirement is there. If the House gives its consent, the letter that is in one language could be tabled. Is there consent for the tabling of this document at this time?
