Mr. Speaker, since last night, French-speaking listeners in Newfoundland have been able to tune in to Ce Soir Atlantique , which replaced the Montreal edition of the daily newscast.
I applaud Radio-Canada's decision to give all maritime provinces access to newscasts depicting the social, economic, political and cultural realities of their region.
This good news will no doubt increase the supper time ratings of the French network and supports the efforts made by our government to promote the development of the French language in Canada by providing key tools to French-speaking communities.
In closing, I hope that our colleagues from the Bloc Quebecois will be inspired by this decision and, from now on, make an effort to support the broadcasting of TFO programming to Quebec households.
