Mr. Speaker, I will try to explain the figures to the member once again.
When two francophones marry, they pass on their mother tongue to their children 95% of the time.
When a francophone marries a bilingual anglophone, they pass on the French language to their children 73% of the time.
When a francophone marries a unilingual anglophone, the percentage drops to only 35%.
The government is determined to strengthen bilingualism and the official languages in Canada. We will do this in a united Canada because that is the only way it can be done.
