It's a matter of rights. We have to be able to live linguistic duality across the country. Quebec anglophones have a right to their institutions and strong communities. I absolutely agree on the points that have been raised by my colleague and counterpart from Newfoundland and Labrador. It's a question of rights, equality and justice. They've built those institutions and they have considerable interest in protecting them. Back home, we're creating institutions, and I hope we'll be able to keep them.
