Mr. Speaker, I must admit that the hon. member is right to a point. It is true that the remarks made by the Bloc are typical of demagogues; I am the first one to say so and I agree with him.
With respect to the assistance provided to francophones in Saskatchewan, in 1997-98 for example, the federal government committed $4.2 million to the Official Languages in Education Program; $3.2 million to school management; $252,000 to French language services; and $2 million to the Canada-communities agreement.
This funding comes from the federal government, not from the Bloc Quebecois.
