Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll continue with my list. We can talk about the closure of the search and rescue centre in Quebec City, the only bilingual centre of this type in Canada. What are we going to celebrate in 2017? Given all these closures and the lack of respect for bilingualism in Canada, I'm wondering what our history will look like in 100 years.
I know that you are making efforts to promote bilingualism. Mr. Jedwab said earlier that 65% of Canadians were in favour of bilingualism and that the others wondered if it was worth the trouble.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't have to be bilingual to be an official of Parliament or a Supreme Court justice. Speaking about the 150th anniversary celebrations in 2017, that's all well and good, but certain things are going on right now. Is it this government's retreat from bilingualism that we are going to celebrate?
