Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his response. He is obviously very active in the official languages file.
There is no shortage of problems. As a member of Parliament, I have sent a request to a minister's office and got a response in English only. I had to fight to get a response in French.
The Commissioner of Official Languages reported that every complaint having to do with emergency situations under his purview since 2014 stemmed from a failure to provide communications and services in French. One MP patently trivialized the fact that French is in decline in Quebec.
I think it is time to make amends. Can my colleague tell us when the new version of the Official Languages Act will be tabled, as promised in the Speech from the Throne, which he mentioned a few moments ago?
We are waiting for this legislation to find out whether the Liberal government is serious about protecting French in Quebec and official languages across the country.
