I'll echo what Mr. Blaney said. The preamble to my motion specifies at the outset what we want to focus on. It's in line with the Speech from the Throne, which acknowledged for the first time the responsibility to promote and protect French not only outside Quebec, but also in Quebec. The speech also stated that, as a result, the government would strengthen the Official Languages Act.
Our motion talks about the status of English and French in Quebec. We also take into account the English issue. We don't want to prevent the English-speaking community from thriving, but we also want to preserve the future of the French language. That's the purpose of our motion. The preamble talks about the responsibility to protect French. Yet we're reverting to the traditional view of both official languages. That's why we shouldn't support this amendment.
