Madam Chair, in the past six years, the Liberal government has taken concrete action in a number of areas, one of which is francophone immigration. These are meaningful steps.
In June 2017, the immigration department decided to award additional points for knowledge of French in the express entry system. In the fall of 2018, the department designated a second French language testing organization for economic immigration applicants. This is in addition to other measures the government has taken to support francophones across Canada.
It is completely untrue to say that the Liberal government has done nothing. We will continue to do more. We will modernize the Official Languages Act. This modernization will certainly include some significant measures to strengthen the French language in Quebec and Canada.
