No, I'm not saying it's partisan. In fact, it's one of the acts that are really non-partisan. Some acts are a little more so in some instances. Here we're talking about an act that protects our identity. Canada's official languages are English and French. It's important to promote them and to ensure they survive. I'm talking about the survival of anglophones in Quebec and francophones outside Quebec. This is what constitutes our unique identity in Canada. We are recognized around the world for that identity and for our respect for those two languages. That's why it's important to make changes to the act.
