When we want to change legislation, it has to be submitted to Parliament. That is why I am asking the question. I am told that additions could be made to the list through an order in council. We need to be able to hold a debate in Parliament to determine whether it is really necessary for the incumbent to be bilingual, whether the position really requires it. I am thinking for instance of the head of the RCMP.</p>",
