That is right. The ex-minister. If the promotion of the French cause was so important for her, why did she pick an unilingual anglophone as her chief of staff? She also chose to receive her correspondence in English.
Nor does she mention the assimilation of francophones. In the city of Hamilton, which the Minister of Canadian Heritage represents, there was, according to Statistics Canada, an 80% assimilation rate. When she talks about the great French Canadian family, I would like to remind her that her predecessors at the Association des francophones hors Québec, representing francophones from the rest of Canada, supported the yes side during the 1980 referendum.
