Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, as I've indicated, I'm hoping to bring forward legislation for first and second reading during this sitting, at which point it will be in committee's hands for 120 days, which means the earliest it will be able to be in front of the legislature for third reading would be the fall sitting.
If passed, and I stress
if passed
, then we will have to identify an appropriate implementation date that gives us time to actually change our system so that we can utilize the different fonts that exist within our Official Languages Act, the 11 official languages, so that we can produce our documents using those official languages. I don't have a set timeline. Some things are still up in the air as far as, you know, if the legislation passes, if I'm able to get it in front of the House. I anticipate I will, but, given that there are some uncertainties, I'm unprepared to commit to an actual date at this point.
