Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech, and especially for giving part of it in French.
The Bloc Québécois agrees with the principle of the bill and will definitely vote for it at second reading.
In my riding, members of the Manawan Atikamekw community speak Atikamekw. However, there is not enough funding at present to teach Atikamekw or French at the primary and secondary levels.
Could my colleague tell us if the bill provides for adequate funding for the teaching of these languages?
