We think it's important to persist in trying to strengthen French in the public service and federal institutions. That's why we did not propose a uniquely territorial model for the use of French in federally regulated businesses. We need French in federal businesses everywhere. That's also true for services. We fought hard for the standing order in part IV when people wanted to shut down bilingual offices. Fortunately, the government listened to us and imposed a moratorium on closing bilingual offices providing access to services in French. We don't think there should be any decline in French, but rather advancement from every standpoint.
