Mr. Speaker, I certainly want to thank my colleague. I often talk with him and I like him very much.
I would like to note that we have been taking action since 2015 and there has been tremendous progress since. We can talk about culture, CBC/Radio-Canada or the Translation Bureau, where the Conservatives made major cuts. Reinvestment was needed there. Of course we can talk about the court challenges program, which the Conservatives abolished and we had to reinstate. We can talk about the long form census, which supported francophones in Quebec and francophones and anglophones outside Quebec. It was abolished by the Conservatives. We can talk about the roadmap for official languages. In 10 years, the Conservatives made no investment in advancing Canada's francophonie.
I will have a lot more time to add to this list soon, when I join him in Parliament.
