Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for giving me the opportunity to speak about the importance of French, not only in the public service, but in Canada. We are strong and proud because we have a bilingual country where everyone has the right to thrive in English or French. We also have that responsibility when it comes to the public service.
Let me assure my colleague that, as a francophone and a Quebecker, that is my objective and I am determined to fulfill it every day.
