Thank you. I think this motion coming from the Standing Committee on Social Programs is a good motion. I will be voting to support it. I would have liked to see some more mention in the motion concerning the layoff notices or the layoff intentions that have been given to the translators and interpreters in the regions with regard to the restructuring of the Language Bureau. In conversation with several people from my riding, it does not seem that the restructuring of the Language Bureau and the elimination of Language Bureau has much support. This motion made by the Standing Committee on Social Programs goes a long way to address that, but I would have liked to see it go a bit farther, but I will be supporting the motion. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
