Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I am a Quebecker, a Francophone and very proud of my roots. However, that does not prevent me from speaking two other languages.
As I was listening to you, I was thinking to myself that you are all right, in a way, in particular when you describe your feelings. You have plenty of feeling, Ms. Lamarre, when you talk about how you perceive things. And we all do.
In terms of how Anglophones are treated in Quebec, because they are given services, that cannot be reproduced for Francophones in the rest of Canada. I do not see a day when that kind of equality will exist. I think that is where the difference lies. That difference will always be there. We are not going to start building schools. Also, as was pointed out earlier, the federal government is not investing money in Francophones outside Quebec—quite the opposite.
Personally, I have gone right across the country. I have met with Francophones outside Quebec who were having trouble keeping their community centre open—just for the chance to get with each other. We should forget about schools and everything else. I think statistics are important. Feelings are not the only thing that counts. We have to consider the numbers.
