Mr. Speaker, the Reform Party's new Canada act fizzled with its proposal to give the provinces full responsibility over linguistic matters.
The Reform Party members fail to understand the fact that a united Canada requires a policy on minorities that has been approved and explained by Parliament and a federal government concerned about francophone communities outside Quebec.
Assuring groups of Acadians and francophones outside Quebec that they can always count on the Government of Canada to defend their culture and their identity is a mark of respect for them.
