I have spent my entire adult life defending the concept of linguistic minorities, particularly those living in French, in Ontario. This is very important to me, as is the defence of the French language. However, I feel that the defence of the English language in Canada is just as important as that of the French language. If we cannot defend the English language, it is going to become more and more difficult to defend the French language.
I would like to invite you to turn to page 35 of this beautiful document. You use American English. I'm going to try to become your advocate, but if I do manage to do this, I would like you to promise me that next year, if you provide us with another beautiful document of this type, you will use Canadian English and not American English. Do you understand?
