Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Speaking along the same lines, our colleagues are entitled to ask questions, but they also have to allow the minister time to answer questions freely and to avoid insulting him or categorizing his answers because they don't like them. We should show respect on both sides, and it's also important that we be able to understand who's asking questions and who's answering them.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to the ministers for being with us this morning.

Ms. Petitpas Taylor, I've often heard francophone columnists and commentators say that Bill C-13 wouldn't go as far as Bill C-32.

I don't get the impression that's true, but I want to give you a chance to state your view of the matter.

Thank you.

Minister, the Liberal Party has committed to appointing bilingual judges to the Supreme Court of Canada. However, the Conservative Party has long opposed that practice, which is deeply disappointing for anyone who believes that all Canadians deserve to be heard before the highest court in the land in the official language of their choice.

Please tell us more about that—

Mr. Chair, I was interrupted as I asked my question, which was very impolite. I'll have to repeat my question from the beginning so the minister can understand and answer it. I would therefore like you to adjust the clock accordingly.

I wouldn't want to lose time as a result of my colleague's interruption. The minister may not understand my question as a result of that interruption and I'll have to ask it again.

Ms. Petitpas Taylor, would you tell us a little more about how we can entrench this principle in Bill C-13?

On a point of order, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, do you understand why I said I should start asking my question from the beginning and why the clock should be adjusted so the minister could understand my entire question?

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Minister, when the Liberal Party committed to appointing bilingual judges to the Supreme Court of Canada, the Conservative Party opposed it for a long time. That's deeply disappointing for anyone who believes that all Canadians deserve to be heard in the highest court in the land in the official language of their choice.

Could you tell us a little more about how we can entrench that principle in Bill C-13?
