Mr. Speaker, the member is referring to a specific case and his facts are wrong. He says the federal government is about to cut by 50 per cent a grant to the Association canadienne-française de l'Ontario. We will show him the results of the ongoing negotiations so he can change his tune.
All I want to say is that I do not feel like a person who has abandoned francophones in Ontario. It is quite the opposite. Anyway, it is not for me to make that judgment, but for the people of Ottawa-Vanier. They will be the ones who will decide if I have abandoned the francophones in my riding. If they do not think so, they might want to re-elect me, and I will be glad to discuss this issue again at that time with the member for Québec-Est.
