Madam Chair, the hon. member for Berthier—Maskinongé has said a number of times this evening that nothing people have been saying amounts to anything more than words and that nothing has been accomplished.
I have a question for my hon. colleague from Lac-Saint-Louis. The federal government has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Telefilm Canada, Musicaction and the Canada Media Fund to support French music, French television series and French films, many of which have reached international audiences.
Does he see this as concrete action on the part of the federal government?
Let's also consider the $4 billion we invested in arts and culture, a significant chunk of which went to francophone artists in Quebec and across Canada.
Does my colleague see all that as concrete action in support of the French language from coast to coast to coast?
