Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for this question.
We have had the opportunity to discuss the official languages and what we would like to see in the future on a number of occasions.
Not long ago, the member was at the committee meeting when the Commissioner indicated that he had not requested additional funds because he was winding down some files. He would be asking for additional funding during the next budget cycle. We cannot give out money if there is no demand for it. For the time being, it is understood that there will not be a request for funds.
What our government will be getting started on shortly is the consultation of minority organizations across Canada. This consultation will help the government determine whether a five-year plan is appropriate.
As for the Supreme Court judges, I imagine the issue will be addressed soon.
