Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives have broken another of their election promises. They promised that:
A Conservative government will:
Support the Official Languages Act, ensuring that English and French have equality of status and equal rights and privileges as to their use in all institutions of the Parliament and Government of Canada.
Yet today, the Conservatives are no longer requiring that all senior officers in the Canadian Forces be bilingual, even though the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages rejected this move.
Why has a francophone Conservative minister abandoned bilingualism?
