Mr. Speaker, last night was a first in the House of Commons. Four hours of emergency debate on the status of the French language in Montreal is unprecedented for the federal government.
There was four hours of fine speeches on the importance of Quebec's national language, but how many solid proposals were made by the government? None.
French has to be the language of work and the common language of all Quebeckers. That is why the Bloc Québécois is introducing two bills.
Why is this government unable to say that it will support us?
