Mr. Speaker, the programs are working, but the Commissioner is asking that they be put in place.
Does the government want examples of the setbacks? A year ago, the Minister of Industry announced the creation of a committee on the French language. Where is this committee? The government appointed a unilingual anglophone to the position of auditor general and is closing the only bilingual Canadian search and rescue centre, which is located in Quebec City. If that is the government's commitment to the official languages, I am not impressed.
If the minister is so concerned about official languages, why is he allowing his government to dismantle so many bilingual institutions one after the other?
