Its proposal will only increase paperwork and useless haphazard regulations. Our government is determined to promote and protect the French language in Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2775247\" data-originallang=\"fr\">That is why I had the honour of announcing in this House that we are establishing an advisory committee tasked with determining whether there is a problem with the use of French in federally regulated private businesses. That is a responsible approach. We must take the time to do things properly and not haphazardly, as suggested by the opposition.</p>",

Tout ce qu'il propose, c'est d'augmenter la paperasse et la r\u00e9glementation inutile \u00e0 la va-comme-je-te-pousse, alors que notre gouvernement est d\u00e9termin\u00e9 \u00e0 promouvoir et \u00e0 prot\u00e9ger la langue fran\u00e7aise au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2775247\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est pour \u00e7a que j'ai eu l'honneur d'annoncer en cette Chambre qu'on est \u00e0 mettre sur pied un comit\u00e9 consultatif qui aura pour t\u00e2che d'\u00e9valuer s'il y a un probl\u00e8me quant \u00e0 l'utilisation du fran\u00e7ais dans les entreprises priv\u00e9es qui op\u00e8rent dans la sph\u00e8re f\u00e9d\u00e9rale. C'est une approche responsable. Il faut prendre le temps de bien faire les choses, contrairement \u00e0 l'escamotage qui est propos\u00e9 de l'autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la Chambre.</p>"
