Senator Carignan: Yes, we are in favour of the act, although we wish it could be done a lot faster. We realize that this is a complex situation and that it takes a very long time to review the entirety of federal legislation. We are in favour of any harmonization act, but we would like it to be done a lot faster so that people do not have to spend their entire career without the benefit of bijuralism and bilingualism rules.

Senator Clement: Thank you for your speech in support of the bill. You talked about bijuralism, and I was glad to hear what you had to say. I noted your comments about the Chambre des notaires. You’re planning to study this question in committee. I will ask you the same question I asked your civil law colleagues in this chamber. Are they happy about this harmonization act in general and about bijuralism in general?
