Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the minister for being here.
Very quickly, I'd like to give notice of the following motion, so we can discuss it at the next meeting:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(3), and taking into account the Radio-Canada reports last Tuesday, which revealed new violations of the Official Languages Act within the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the committee hear from the RCMP Commissioner, Mike Duheme, no later than October 18 to discuss the RCMP’s plan to comply with the Official Languages Act and respect the French language.
Minister, earlier you spoke about the decline of French outside Quebec. The answer you gave my fellow member was evasive.
Do you think Quebec is experiencing a decline of French?
