Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his question. Our two official languages are at the heart of our Canadian culture and identity. All Canadians deserve to be served in the official language of their choice, and that also applies to the private sector, which includes CN. The lack of francophone directors on CN's board of directors is completely unacceptable, and we expect the company to rectify this situation as quickly as possible. We are very pleased with the new version of the official languages bill, as we want to equip the commissioner with the tools he needs to do his job.
