Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I want to go back to the will we were talking about, regarding the question that we could perhaps ask in the census.
I think this is quite important for our immigrants. A number of immigrants back home speak not only an African language, but English and French as well. Since the census will ask the question one way, they will answer that they speak English. And yet they speak both English and French, and based on that answer they will not be counted among the people who are entitled to French-language services. That's what troubles me a great deal. It's troubling not only for immigrants, but also for Canadians.
You talked about a will. There was some question of a will regarding the question suggested by Mrs. Boucher. We should ask who wants French-language services rather than ask people whether they were born francophone, whether French is their mother tongue and so on.
How could we emphasize that will? To whom do we speak to demonstrate that will? We want a question to be asked so that we can count all those who want to receive French-language services. How do we do that?
