Mr. Speaker, my question is for the President of the Treasury Board.
In its last bulletin, entitled Info-parents , the Commission nationale des parents francophones said, and I quote “What is apparent is that, in 10, 15 or 20 years, unless things change, we are headed for a situation in which there will no longer really be a pan-Canadian francophone presence. The presence of francophones from coast to coast is at risk”.
In his speech to inaugurate the Semaine nationale de la francophonie, why did the President of the Treasury Board not propose concrete measures to support la francophonie outside Quebec, given the very precarious situation in which it finds itself?
