I don't want to speak for long, because I think we should proceed with the vote rather than argue, to be honest.
I must tell you that I was astounded to hear the member's comments. It's mainly because this is the second time that the same party, a party supposedly willing to protect both official languages, has made such a statement. I was really very disappointed. It was an attack on my identity of choice. That's rare, because I'm so proud of bilingualism in Ottawa. However, when I hear things like that, it hurts me as much as it hurt Mr. Duclos.
I would ask that we vote as soon as possible so that we can continue our work.
