Thank you, Mr. Speaker. At the risk of being accused of having my feet in concrete, having been a Member of the Standing Committee on Agencies, Boards and Commissions which did, in fact, recommend that this House not accept the Languages Commissioner's suggestion that we review the provision of simultaneous translation in the House, since that was only recently, I think, dealt with by this House, and since, as was pointed out in the Premier's statement on languages, we have, in fact, received more money for official languages than what we had expected to get when the Standing Committee on Agencies, Boards and Commissions made its recommendations to this House, I would have to say that I have great difficulty supporting this motion.

I think ABCs, in their consideration of the provision of all official languages in this House, did weigh the symbolic value and importance of maintaining the provision of those services, I think we have to recognize just how important it is to preserve those languages and ensure they are used. I think that seeing them used here in this House is a very important, symbolic way of having them preserved.

So, Mr. Speaker, I will just advise that I'm afraid I will not be able to support this motion.
