That is interesting. You are talking about issues that are close to my heart. It is very important indeed that government representatives, ministers, assume their responsibility for protecting minorities.
When I was a member of the Ontario Government, we established, for the first time in Canadian history, a system of funding equity and education for both young francophones and young anglophones. We created 12 French school boards, catholic and even public school boards, in every region of the province. That was the greatest victory for the Franco-Ontarian community in Canada's entire history.
I was not the minister responsible for francophone affairs when an independent commission handed down its decision on the Montfort Hospital, and when I was the minister, the issue was closed. I was the one who called Gisèle Lalonde to tell her that the government was planning to appealed the decision because it took its responsibilities seriously.
