Mr. Chair, it will be rather difficult to square this circle in so little time.
I would first like to thank the parliamentary secretary for his response.
My other question concerns an issue that has not yet been raised this evening. It concerns one's pride in speaking French within the Canadian Forces. I would point out that French is the language spoken at Valcartier. Also, the Royal 22nd Regiment, the pride of the Canadian army, speaks French.
I would have liked to know how the department plans to deal with the demands from the previous government. There were significant gaps concerning the use of French. Perhaps I will forward my question in writing to the parliamentary secretary.
