Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Secretary of State for Multiculturalism.
It is ironic when MPs like the Reform member for Calgary Southeast yesterday misrepresented the cardinal principles of multiculturalism, a policy long viewed by other countries as a model for social cohesion and national unity.
Given that nearly half of Canada's people are of neither English nor French background, can the minister assure us that the government will continue to promote the cultural, economic and social benefits inherent in Canada's diversity?
