Good question, Brenda,
It is to do with what is called 'euphonics' when things are hard to pronounce, as in this case with the clash of vowels between 'et' ( the -t is silent) and 'on'. We add a - 'l' to make it easier to pronounce.
This happens between que and on as is mentioned in the following lesson.
que + on ----> que l'on
Take a deeper look at the following lesson, which explains more about 'euphonique' -
Bonne Continuation !
