To be honest, Madam Chair, I am a little disappointed in the Bloc's narrative this evening.
It is too bad the Bloc Québécois leader contributed nothing substantive even though this is an extremely important debate. The member just said that newcomers to Quebec do not want to learn French, which is patently false. I have lived in Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean, in the Eastern Townships, in Montreal and in the Outaouais, and I have never met a newcomer to Quebec who did not want to learn French. The problem is a shortage of resources, courses and training. To top it off, the Government of Quebec recently cut access to French classes for refugees.
Can the member comment on the unavailability of French classes for newcomers to Quebec, a problem resulting, unfortunately, from decisions made by the Government of Quebec?
