Madam Chair, I know that I need to ask a question about the speech I just heard, but I want to give a quick preamble.
This evening's debate feels like a love-in to me. I do not see Quebeckers as a minority. They are unique. Our common language is French, we are the majority in French, we are unilingual francophones. We must be allowed to live in French, to teach French and to work in French. Quebeckers will base decisions on what is done, not what is said.
My question has to do with some very concrete issues, such as the language of work, citizenship, barriers to the law and the Charter of the French Language in Quebec.
What are you prepared to do to promote and not restrict the French fact in Quebec?
