Mr. Speaker, Monday, June 24 is Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, the great festival of all French Canadians.
Together, we shall celebrate our diversity and our identity. We will proclaim our pride in a country that continually celebrates the richness of the French language.
I invite all Canadians to gather round a bonfire of friendship, to dance and to raise their voices in song.
Bonne fête, francophones du Canada.
