I would just like to add to what my colleague said, sir.
After extensive research and access to information requests, it appears that there has been only one agreement between Quebec and Ottawa with respect to the Action Plan for Official Languages 2023‑2028. The purpose of this plan is to implement legislative provisions of the Official Languages Act.
This agreement concerns the anglophone minority in Quebec. Of course, we know that English speakers in Quebec are in a minority situation. However, I would refer again to the Ballantyne case. Indeed, under international law, an anglophone is considered to be part of the majority language group wherever they are in Canada, be it Moncton, Vancouver, Montreal or Toronto.
Unfortunately, the government did not act on this. Perhaps intergovernmental negotiations are to blame. Nothing would have prevented Canadian Heritage, for example, from setting up a program for civil society organizations that specialize in implementing initiatives to promote the French language, organizations like the Société nationale des Québécoises et des Québécois d'Abitibi‑Témiscamingue et du Nord‑du‑Québec.
