Mr. Speaker, the best way to protect the education rights of francophones outside Quebec-which we put in the Canadian constitution in 1982, it was not there before-the best way to ensure that French schools outside Quebec are protected by the constitution adopted by this Parliament in 1982, when I was Minister of Justice, is to stay in Canada. The best guarantee francophones have is to stay in Canada.
When I see francophone members abandoning francophones outside Quebec, I find that shameful, Mr. Speaker.
