Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House, we believe that language must never divide Canadians from each other or from their institutions. That is why we support bilingualism, so we can be linked together in common understanding and respect.
However, that is not the position of the government.
Today, the Commissioner of Official Languages condemned the government for its “apparent lack of will” in sustaining bilingualism and protecting the rights of minority language communities in Canada.
Will the Prime Minister commit today to act on the commissioner's recommendations, or will he continue to pursue his policies of division?
