If linguistic duality seems impossible in Quebec and everywhere else in Canada, it has to become possible in Saskatchewan if we want it to become possible in Quebec. That means that the whole government apparatus must fall into step, respect the legislation and take the measures provided for in part VII which is still very inactive after I don't know how many years.
You talk about four employees per association or organization, but the majority of our organizations only have one employee. These are local organizations that provide services to French-speaking citizens. That sole employee must take care of administration, otherwise there will be no more resources and if there are no more resources, he will have to close the organization's doors. That amounts to saying bye-bye to services for the citizens. There must absolutely be a genuine analysis of the needs, province by province, territory by territory, and then we must ensure that we'll be in a position to offer genuine services, so that actual French-speaking citizens can have access to them. Whether it's early childhood, health care or other fields, it has to be possible to live in French in our province.
In our province, French is a little bit like Latin. It's spoken in school—where you can get one—and it's still spoken at mass sometimes, even though that's also being lost because of a labour shortage. If we continue this way, if we can't buy a litre of milk in French, the same thing will happen as did to Latin: French will simply disappear. If we truly believe that French is fundamental to this country, let's invest the money and provide the necessary tools. That's the solution I propose. I'm saying the agreement is a good tool, but it's heavily criticized. It's as if we had to hammer in a nail with a monkey wrench.
