Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the minister for being here.
First, I'd like to say that the people of Quebec and the entire country are concerned about the decline of French. Francophones are facing a genuine systemic crisis. You've been in power for seven years, and the failures are piling up. The Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship is unilingual. That's a failure for francophone immigration. The CEO of Air Canada looks down on French, and the Commissioner of Official Languages says your government's responsible for a systemic crisis that francophone workers are paying for. More recently, we've become aware of the situation at CN.
Why has your government abandoned francophones instead of protecting French?
