Thank you, Madam Chair. Through the series of motions that we're looking at, the committee has taken some very aggressive and some very bold and I think necessary recommendations here to help sustain official languages. Part of this, I guess by necessity, means that we need to set up more process and more bureaucracy to administer all of these additional desirabilities; the things that we want to achieve here. In looking at the motions that we've been through so far, we are creating a Minister with a portfolio for languages, we are creating what I think would be an advisory board to the Minister, and I believe -- perhaps it's coming a little bit further -- we're setting up a secretariat to administer all of these things.

I just want to put on record, Madam Chair, that I will be supporting the motion. But through this we seem to be loading up quite a bit on the bureaucratic, the government side of things. I'm not arguing that it's unnecessary. But along with the recommendations that committee is making to government in implementing this, I would like to add a note from my point of view that the leaner and the more efficient and the more results-oriented we can make this added bureaucracy, I think the better the job we will achieve. I'm getting a lot of signals of late, Madam Chair, from constituents and industry and the community at large that a number of the governance systems and structures that we have in place are not really delivering or seen to be delivering a lot of value. I do not want to see something like languages end up with that same kind of criticism. So I'll conclude my remarks here, Madam Chair. Again, I will be supporting the motion, but it is with a qualifier that these moves will be appreciated when they're done with a very lean and a very results-oriented approach. Thank you.
