Madam Speaker, in the minister's mandate letter, it says to bring forward options to create an independent commissioner to organize the political party leaders' debate, and she did mention that. On this independent commissioner, will the minister promise in the House not to follow the process followed by the government when it failed to appoint a Commissioner of Official Languages, and actually commit to doing a fulsome process where all parties in the House are consulted in person through a committee where we can all agree, with the members of the New Democratic Party as well?
In the House of Commons on June 14th, 2017. See this statement in context.
