Madam Chair, I thank my colleague for his speech.

The NDP agrees. We are pushing for federally regulated businesses in Quebec to be subject to the Charter of the French Language.

I have a more specific question for my colleague about the need to modernize the Official Languages Act.

Why does the government seem to prefer issuing a white paper instead of introducing a bill to quickly modernize the Official Languages Act?
