I believe that the constitution is very clear on this subject: there are two official languages in Canada, English and French, and they have equal status. In reality, we know that the status of the French language is unique and that measures are required to protect it and promote it to preserve the vitality of Francophone communities outside Quebec and ensure that French, in Quebec, is the language of work and in the public space.
We recognize that. What we are saying, to you and to the federal government, is that the anglophone language minority in Quebec, which has problems, ought not to be forgotten. Nowhere in your document are there any proposals that would look into and address the issues we are encountering on an everyday basis. The vitality of our communities is also at risk.
