Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
After deciding not to implement a real comprehensive policy for the development of the French-speaking community, despite the request of the Federation of Francophone and Acadian Communities, the Minister of Heritage finally brought forth a policy. The policy that emerged from his drawing board is nothing more than an action plan to meet his own obligations under part VII of the Official Languages Act.
Can the minister tell us how and in what way his action plan will develop the francophone community?
