Mr. Speaker, the member raised almost the identical question approximately a week ago in the House of Commons. Let me answer the question again.
The Government of Canada welcomes any city that wants to achieve bilingual status for Canadians. We know that and the proof of that is the support we gave to the City of Ottawa to achieve that. Members will also remember that many of us in the House wanted to congratulate the City of Ottawa for that status but the member himself refused to do so.
