Mr. Speaker, I cannot believe what the parliamentary secretary has just said.
The action plan for official languages clearly states that the Contraventions Act fund is meant to improve access to justice in both official languages. The same goes for the infamous policy. If the action plan for official languages is being set aside, then where are we headed? Why even make plans in the first place? If it is part of the plan, I should hope it would be followed.
Furthermore, the Minister of Canadian Heritage's new action plan for official languages promises an additional $10 million over five years for the access to justice in both official languages support fund. However, the fund has been depleted of $40 million over 10 years. Something does not add up. There is a gap that will have to be made up.
