Mr. Speaker, Canada is a bilingual country, and our government is determined to ensure that Canadians can communicate in the official language of their choice.
Today, the Minister of Canadian Heritage unveiled our government's official languages plan for the next five years.
The Roadmap for Canada’s Official Languages 2013–2018 allows us to continue our unprecedented commitment with $1.1 billion focused on three pillars: education, immigration and communities.
Our government will continue to support both of our country's official languages so that Canadians from coast to coast can enjoy the economic and social benefits that come from Canada's linguistic duality.
