It's a question of equity between linguistic groups. English is very strong in Quebec, and increasingly so. There are several other languages in Quebec.
The same applies to the other provinces. Mr. Cannon said yesterday that the language question should be left to the territories, but is our territory treating us fairly? Is it giving us what it receives from the federal government? It's a question of equity. We are resourceful and have community spirit, so we will survive, continue to fight and do what is necessary to move forward in life; but if our territory does nothing for us and we complain to the federal government, then what is the point of having governments? Where is the fairness? Do you have scales for all the provinces, whereby you decide that you will give 2% to the territories, for example, 50% to Ontario, and so on? I understand that those are only numbers, but treating human beings fairly is what is important, the language they speak naturally, their mother tongue.
