Okay.
I would say that the outright refusal to consider francophones a minority community in Canada is, in my humble opinion, a blatant display of inequality and disparity and even of systemic exclusion and disrepute. It's clear to me. You can't even say that francophones are a minority in Canada and that they should also be included on the list in the Minister of Canadian Heritage's mandate letter.
The mandate letter doesn't even protect people who constitute one of the country's minorities and founding peoples alongside the first nations. For the record, the first nations arrived here long before us francophones. However, we arrived 150 years before the anglophones.
The mandate letter doesn't even mention the protection of Canada's francophone minority group. How can we expect Canadian Heritage to truly protect francophones through the Official Languages Act if it doesn't even mention them?
