Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague’s question, especially since it paves the way for part of the answer. The last change to the Official Languages Act was made by a Conservative government. I think we need to put things in perspective. Yes, changes are necessary. We have been talking about it more and more for the past six years. I hope that we will end up with a bill that meets the expectations of all Canadians.

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.
