That's an excellent question, Mr. Savard‑Tremblay.
I want to make sure I grasped the question correctly, because I don't want to say “yes” if the answer is actually “no”.
I can assure you that, in our past and future meetings and conversations with the Government of Quebec, we would never undermine the province's rightful and essential duty: protecting the French language.
That's a roundabout way of answering “yes” to your question. If the question is whether we made a commitment to our partners in Quebec, as witnessed by the other provinces, to do nothing that will diminish the ability of the Government of Quebec to make necessary decisions on such matters as protecting the French language, then the answer is absolutely “yes”. We supported that. We said that. I think I was there when Mr. Carney said the same thing to Mr. Legault a few months ago.
You don't have to worry. We agree with you on that.
