Mr. Speaker, rather than see walls where there are none, the minister should consider that the situation in Quebec is one of great mutual respect when it comes to the linguistic rights of anglophones and the status of French as a common language.
In 1992, the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs wrote that the best solution would be a unilateral devolution of powers with respect to language solely in the Quebec legislature and enforced solely in Quebec's territory.
Does he admit that Quebec's actions are entirely consistent with the proposal he himself made in 1992?
