Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
The federal government took close to $5 million from the budgets allocated to the promotion of the official languages and gave the money to Option Canada. This is six times the annual subsidy to the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada.
What distorted logic did the minister use to divert funds from the official languages promotion budget to a phoney organization whose role was to spread federalist propaganda during the last referendum campaign?
