Madam Chair, I might surprise my colleague again, because I recently learned that I share ancestors with René Lévesque: Robert Lévesque, from Rivière-Ouelle, and Jeanne Chevalier.
It goes back many generations, but there it is all the same. I am a Lightbound, I was born under the rose, but I was raised under the lily in Quebec City by a Lévesque mother and a Lightbound father. The two linguistic solitudes flow through in my veins, so to speak.
The will I spoke of, I can feel it. We heard it in the Speech from the Throne. The Minister of Official Languages is doing an incredible job of protecting and promoting French in Quebec and across the country. I have full confidence in the minister.
