Madam Chair, I commend my colleague for his passion for the French language.
I also commend my colleague from Acadia who reminded us that René Lévesque was born in his neck of the woods.
Before I ask my question, I want to tell my colleague and the people watching us that I am pleased that this work is being done. There was a debate this evening, but the Standing Committee on Official Languages will focus on the decline of French in Quebec and across the country starting next week. I am pleased to have worked with the hon. member from the Bloc Québécois on this initiative. We will continue to work to advance linguistic duality in Canada.
The hon. member talked about the decline of French's appeal in Montreal. I would like him to explain to me how French can be made more attractive in order to maintain this duality at the heart of Canada's francophone engine.
