Madam Chair, I really enjoyed the comments made by my colleague from Louis-Hébert.
They were intelligent, eloquent and relevant. His genealogy is interesting and we also understand that the apple did not fall far from the tree, to say the least.
My colleague mentioned the former Liberal leader, Stéphane Dion. I would remind members that Stéphane Dion is the former member for Saint-Laurent and that the current member for Saint-Laurent has perhaps not been a credit to her predecessor.
The member for Louis-Hébert's party has been elected and re-elected for the past five years based on the promise and commitment to overhaul the Official Languages Act. However, after five years, we are no further ahead. Based on the Speech from the Throne, we expected that there would be a specific announcement on the overhaul of the Official Languages Act. However, that was not the case, and all we are learning today is that the government is going to table a white paper.
Why a white paper, when we need action, not just reflection?
