Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Sarnia—Lambton for her speech.

The NDP believes that the Commissioner of Official Languages must have more powers to ensure that the Official Languages Act is respected and that there are consequences if it is not.

I would ask the Conservatives if they will support changes at committee so that the commissioner has these necessary powers.
