Mr. Speaker, we have learned that there are very obvious ties between the Minister of Canadian Heritage and the future commissioner of official languages even within her inner circle. Former staffers of Ms. Meilleur are currently working for the minister. These staffers worked closely with Madeleine Meilleur, when she was the attorney general and minister responsible for francophone affairs.
Will the minister cancel this proposed appointment or will we have to get to the bottom of the process and call for a public inquiry?
