2018-11-29 15:19 House intervention / intervention en chambre

Aboriginal languages, House of Commons, Official languages policy

Chambre des communes, Langues autochtones, Politique des langues officielles

Mr. Speaker, the recommendations in the 66th report of PROC are specifically written in a way to allow and encourage members of the House of Commons who are not indigenous to learn those languages and use them in this place. I wonder if the member has any comments on the importance of that, as we have seen from our colleague from Ville-Marie—Le Sud-Ouest—Île-des-Soeurs in Montreal.

Monsieur le Président, les recommandations contenues dans le 66e rapport du Comité permanent de la procédure et des affaires de la Chambre sont rédigées précisément de façon à permettre aux députés qui ne sont pas autochtones d'apprendre ces langues et de les utiliser en ce lieu, et à les encourager à le faire. Je me demande si le député a des observations sur l'importance de cela, comme nous avons pu le constater grâce au député de Ville-Marie—Le Sud-Ouest—Île-des-Soeurs, à Montréal.
