Mr. Speaker, three official reports from three different sources have referred to the federal government's inability to honour its commitments to francophone communities.
One of these, the Savoie report, proposed the creation over five years of a $60 million fund for francophones outside Quebec.
My question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage. Would it not be time, in order to better co-ordinate programs providing support for francophone minorities threatened by assimilation, to create a secretariat with the means and the autonomy to meet these commitments?
