Mr. Chair, I want to tell my dear kind friend that fine words like “pride in country” are not enough.
For the 2010 Olympics, this group says that it is committed to linguistic duality but the francophones in British Columbia are still waiting for the money promised them to run the francophone component of the games.
We also have the fact that we bid on the Olympic Games and won the bid based on a huge multicultural program and that program is still awaiting money. We only have three more years until the games and all of that should be in place but here is no money for it right now. How do we commit with no money?
