Madam Speaker, my colleague from Rimouski-Témiscouata has rightfully pointed out the impact of language on safety. Before her, my parliamentary leader mentioned the airspace over Magdalen Islands, where pilots cannot receive services in French because these islands are served by a base in Moncton.
I think my parliamentary leader does not have to go as far as the Magdalen Islands to find a case in which the Official Languages Act is not being complied with. All he has to do is stay here on Parliament Hill where, a few days ago, I received from the office of the clerk of the transport committee an eight-line text with five errors in French.
How can we believe that French is respected in this country after receiving such texts?
