Thanks, Mr. Chair. Those of us who have been around for a while may remember when we used to have a languages bureau. It was quite an operation. There were probably 40, 50 staff there who were available and doing work in all of the official languages and developing curriculum, all kinds of great work. Unfortunately, we do not have that capacity anymore, or it's still there perhaps in different forms. However, that issue was raised with us as well as the need for better interpreter training and accreditation. That was raised to us in the written submissions, verbal submissions, and it was really something kind of beyond the scope of the work of the rules and procedures committee, but certainly perfectly within the purview of the government operations committee when they conduct their review of the Official Languages Act.
We felt it important that we don't lose those issues, concerns, that were raised with us. They are captured in the report, and what this motion will do is make sure that they are given to the government operations committee to carefully consider. People, of course, will be welcome to make their own presentations to that committee at the appropriate time. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
