I'd like to go back to Mrs. Cardinal's response. From what I understood, the issue of services during the pandemic is, above all, a governance issue. Consequently, if the language planning model isn't changed and French continues to decline in and outside Quebec, we may still be able to provide more services in the minority official languages by improving governance.
I recently read one of Mrs. Cardinal's articles, and I'd like to know if her thinking is still the same. She writes:
In these conditions, the future of French in North America is being determined in Quebec because it is the only francophone state on the continent. Its survival will likely depend on either the creation of a sovereign francophone state or a redefinition of Canadian federalism in which the territorial principle plays a larger role.
Do you still think that, Mrs. Cardinal?
How does that apply to the subject before us?
