Mr. Speaker, recently I received a letter from a participant in the Katimivak program from my riding, inviting me to attend a gala. Nothing out of the ordinary so far, except that this letter by the Katimivak co-ordinator on behalf of my constituent, who comes from Quebec, was in English only.
According to the person responsible, the decision was that the letter was to be sent in English only because most MPs are English speaking.
This exemplifies a flagrant lack of respect for a very large number of young people who come to Quebec to take part in this activity.
We have proof yet again that French and the situation of Quebec are being ignored in favour of the anglophone majority. And all this is taking place within an organization that, since its inception, has received considerable federal funding.
