Are we counting time according to Rogers or according to Bell? If it is the former, I have five minutes left, and if it is the latter, I have no time left.
My question is addressed to Ms. Routhier-Boudreau. I am referring to an article in Le Droit dated June 5, 2007 that says that half of the positions in the federal public service are unilingual English. It also states that bilingual positions account for around 40%, whereas unilingual francophone positions are decreasing in number and represent only 4% of the entire number of positions. These are the facts.
Once again, is it not disturbing to see that the Conservative government wants to abolish the Court Challenges Program, which helps minorities? I do not like to use the term "minorities" because we should be equal and we should not even have to raise the issue, but do you agree with me that this is another setback for minorities, one from which it will be difficult to recover?
