Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his speech this evening and for his comments. I was wondering if my hon. colleague could comment on the importance of including the court challenges program in the new Bill C‑13, since that program was abolished by the previous government. We recognized the importance of ensuring access to this program, especially for official language minority communities, which is why we included it in our bill. Does he think this program will make a difference to official language minority communities?

Madam Speaker, I want to thank my friend and colleague for the excellent work he does as chair of the official languages caucus and for his leadership throughout his career. During his speech earlier, my friend mentioned the court challenges program, which has been very important to the Acadian community in Atlantic Canada. I was wondering if my colleague could explain the importance of the court challenges program. What benefits does this program bring to official language minority communities? Can he also explain why this program needs to be included in the legislation?
