Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
In his last report, the commissioner of official languages once again used bilingualism as an excuse to gloss over the growing erosion of French speaking communities outside Quebec.
How does the government square such a report from the commissioner of official languages with the strong criticism of a number of well known individuals, including the editorial writer of Le Droit , who reminds readers that the assimilation of francophones is continuing everywhere outside Quebec and that, in the meantime, the Minister of Canadian Heritage is doing nothing but promoting bilingualism?
