Official Languages committee  This is what I am asking.

Official Languages committee  Absolutely.

Official Languages committee  Thank you very much to the witnesses for appearing in front of the committee. I would like to ask you a question about Bill C-419. What, in your opinion, is the necessity of introducing this bill? It should be something natural in our country. We are a bilingual country. Why do we need additional bills when we have these rights in the Constitution and so on?

Official Languages committee  You are talking about the Auditor General.

Official Languages committee  I'm bilingual, not in French and English, but in different languages, and I know what it means. You will never, ever be perfectly proficient in the two languages. I can tell you that my mother tongue is a different language, and I'm not proficient in my mother tongue. Do people in our country have the opportunity to improve their language skills?

Official Languages committee  In your opinion, what measures should be taken in the next few years to ensure the future of Canada's linguistic duality? In a way, we have two issues: one is we have Canadians who are unilingual, all French or all English, and the other is we have 250,000 immigrants coming into this country yearly.

Official Languages committee  Okay. Finally, Mr. Commissioner, can you tell me three achievements you are proud of in the seven years you have been commissioner?

Official Languages committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you very much, Mr. Fraser, for appearing in front of our committee. I would like to ask you pointed and very short questions. In your opinion, what will the major challenges and issues facing linguistic duality be in the next three years?

Official Languages committee  Thank you.

Official Languages committee  Does the enforcement process start with a warning or a temporary suspension? How does it work for you?

Official Languages committee  Thank you very much, Mr. President. You gently said that you are supervising, so in the supervisory function it is an enforcement function. Are you enforcing? How are you conducting this process of enforcement in the condition of the licence? You have 702 television services in Canada—439 in English, 101 in French—and 1,189 radio services in Canada.

Official Languages committee  Can you tell me how many cases you have?

Official Languages committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to ask you, if possible, what kind of licence you are issuing—a provisional licence, a limited licence? How long is the licence in place? What are the conditions of renewal, and after what time are you requiring someone to renew their licence?

Official Languages committee  When you speak about supervising, is that a different issue from regulating?

Official Languages committee  I am not looking at the words, I'm sorry—
