Mr. Speaker, we have political programs when we have elections. I know that the Reform Party will have one. To deny the reality that in Canada 25 per cent of the population speaks French is denying a reality that it is a source of strength in Canada.
They are different in Quebec because the majority of the people speak French. They have a French culture and the civil code which was given by the Fathers of Confederation in 1867, making them different from the rest of the country.
Some of the provinces have some special rights when it comes to education. For example, last week we voted to change some special rights that exist in the Constitution for education in the province of Newfoundland. There are some special rights for education in Quebec too in the Constitution that were put there by the Fathers of Confederation in 1867 as there were at the time of entry into Confederation in the late fifties of Newfoundland.
