Yeah, thank you, Madam Speaker. This bill comes out of some cooperative work and review that the Standing Committee on Government Operations has done of the Official Languages Act over the years, and this Act is long overdue for some changes. I'd like to thank the Minister for his work with committee to date.

I'll also just note committee is still currently in the process of a statutory review of the Official Languages Act. We are still welcome to take any submissions. You know, I think it was our hope when this Assembly first started that we would see a much larger overhaul of the Official Languages Act, as has been requested, but I'm happy to see these changes and to, you know, start the work and strengthen all the great work our official Languages Commissioner is doing. And there's a couple more steps to go in reviewing the bill, and committee's tabling their final review of the Official Languages Act as it now stands. But just thank committee and all of those who participated to date. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
