Mr. Speaker, the minister has made some interesting announcements on his defence policy, such as the one on increasing the number of women and promoting diversity. However, the minister failed to say anything about French as a language of work in the forces.
For a francophone in the navy the language of work is English. In the special forces it is English. In the national training courses it is always English.
When will the Minister of Defence and his department start respecting francophones and give them the necessary units so that they can serve their country in French?
