Madam Speaker, I would like to take the few minutes I have to indicate how totally I disagree with this motion by the hon. member for Québec-Est. The mmotion reads as follows: "That the House encourage the federal government to acknowledge the urgency of the situation of francophones in minority situations in Canada, and take the exceptional steps required in order to counter their assimilation and allow their development".
In the House of Commons on June 13th, 1996. See this statement in context.
