Mr. Speaker, I feel like I am watching an improve skit set up by Yvan Ponton.
The Conservatives are proposing to set up a committee with an unspecified mandate, unknown membership and an undetermined budget. That is a waste of time and money.
Do they not know that by voting with us at second reading, they will send the bill to a committee already funded by the House?
If the Conservatives are serious about this and really want to protect the French language in federally regulated businesses, why do they not vote with the NDP to send Bill C-315 to the Standing Committee on Official Languages?
