Mr. Speaker, what I wish to raise this afternoon is more a question of privilege.
I was elected by constituents who are bilingual, francophone or anglophone, to represent them in a bilingual parliament and in a bilingual country.
Every time I rise to speak in English in this House, the Bloc Quebecois members yell “Speak French!” at me.
It is not only my right and my privilege to speak both official languages in this House. It is my duty.
