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.

Mr. Speaker, again, I thank my colleague for his question. The protection and promotion of French are top priorities for this government and for me, as Minister of Official Languages. That is why we are moving forward with an ambitious bill that has more teeth to ensure that all Canadians get the services they need. I hope that my colleague will support our modernization by passing Bill C‑13 as soon as possible, because this bill will make a real difference in the lives of all Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his question. Both official languages are central to our identity and our culture. All Canadians deserve to be served in the official language of their choice by federally regulated businesses. The lack of a francophone director at CN is completely unacceptable. We expect that this company will rectify the situation as soon as possible. That is why we are moving forward with Bill C-13, a bill that has more teeth and that will give the Commissioner of Official Languages more tools to do his job.
