Thank you.
Minister, I have focused on the language issue in immigration because an important message is being transmitted to immigrants through government policies. The message that your department is currently sending, and perhaps that of Public Safety as well, is that immigration matters are being dealt with in English and that French is the exception, not the rule.
We've talked about the citizenship guide. In my opinion, that would have been the perfect opportunity to talk to immigrants about Bill 101 in Quebec and the fact that children must be registered in French-language schools. The House of Commons has moreover unanimously passed a motion stating that, in Quebec, immigrants are expected to learn French first and foremost. This guide would have been the ideal opportunity. Several passages concerning the Queen could have been suppressed. I agree that we should talk about her, but glorifying her to this degree may be a bit excessive.
I'm going to change subjects, since we won't be agreeing on that today in the context of this committee. We may do so later perhaps. I would like to know what follow-up there has been regarding the citizenship frauds reported by journalists on the Enquête program. It was shown that these frauds were being committed in Quebec, among other places, and that people were living outside the country while claiming that they were in Canada in order to obtain citizenship. To my knowledge—and you'll correct me if I'm wrong—formal charges still have not been laid in this matter. The citizens I represent and the public wonder how it is that journalists can conduct investigations and discover very troubling cases using hidden cameras but that no charges have been laid to date in this matter.
