Mr. Speaker, will the minister guarantee that his official languages plan is not just a smokescreen to hide all the cuts in the departments, as was the case in the past?
Can he explain why the plan includes $120 million essentially for English-language training of immigrants in English-speaking provinces?
And will he convince his colleague at Fisheries and Oceans Canada to abandon his ridiculous plan to close the Quebec City marine rescue sub-centre on April 15, given that the Halifax centre is in absolutely no position to provide proper services in French?
