Mr. Speaker, we have no lessons to learn from the Conservative Party about protecting the French language.
The Conservative Party always cuts funds for linguistic minorities across the country, and it eliminated the support program that made it possible for people to defend their rights in court. To this day, that party still refuses to commit to appointing only judges who know French to the Supreme Court of Canada.
The Liberal government will always be there to protect French both inside and outside Quebec, because we know it is essential for our country.
