Again, Mr. Speaker, I wish to reiterate that the Government of Canada is proud of the appointment of Madame Meilleur as the new official languages commissioner, and also that of Mr. McGuire.
Protecting and promoting both official languages remains a priority for our government.
Following a rigorous process, Madame Meilleur's qualifications and her experience made it clear that she is the best candidate to fill this role.
The decision was made following an open, merit-based process during which Madame Meilleur stood out as the best candidate for the job.
