Mr. Speaker, I rise on the same point of order. I would like to contribute before you commence your consideration of this issue.
I too want to compliment the transport committee on reporting on the estimates and considering them carefully. I think it is commendable, because many committees do not.
However, I want to intervene as the only anglophone who will have spoken this morning in defence of our policy of having all meetings in this place available equally in both official languages. This is not something that is of interest simply to francophones. It protects my right to have a meeting that I can hear and in which I can participate in English. I regard it as the sacred trust of this place that the business of the House, in the House or in committees, gets done at all times fully in both official languages.
I ask you, Mr. Speaker, to take that into consideration in your deliberations.
