Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The Société Saint‑Jean‑Baptiste de Montréal was founded in 1834 by the Patriotes, who were engaged in an armed conflict. There were patriots in Ontario too. The Société Saint‑Jean‑Baptiste has always supported francophones outside Quebec. But since the implementation of the Official Languages Act, and since the Laurendeau-Dunton commission, it has never again been invited to the Standing Committee on Official Languages.
What do you think about that, Ms. Alepin?
