Trente secondes? That's not enough.
I will read to you--I have only the French version, sorry--a paragraph from the Speech from the Throne, which you alluded to in your remarks, Mr. Donnelly.
“We are a bilingual country. Canada's two official languages are an integral part of our history and position us uniquely in the world.” The last sentence in the only paragraph that refers to linguistic duality is the one that surprises me. It says: “it [the government of Canada] will also continue to respect provincial jurisdiction and to restrict the use of the federal spending power.”
I don't know if you noticed that particular paragraph in the Speech from the Throne.
I see Madam Martin-Laforge nodding.
I'd like a reaction to that.
