First, I want to congratulate Senator Gauthier once again and say how much I admire his tenacity and his determination when it comes to issues that relate not only to the Official Languages Act and its application, but also to issues that have surfaced since his unfortunate disease.
Je veux, en tout premier lieu, féliciter de nouveau le sénateur Gauthier et lui dire combien j'admire son endurance et sa détermination à traiter des questions qui touchent non seulement la Loi sur les langues officielles et son application, mais aussi des problèmes qui sont apparus depuis sa malheureuse maladie.
