Mr. Speaker, this is precisely the bone of contention between the Bloc Québécois and the Liberal Party of Canada.
We both recognize that French is in decline in Canada and Quebec, and we will take action.
However, the government recognizes that we must act to protect our beautiful language not only in Quebec, but across Canada: in Timmins, in Moncton, in Saint-Boniface, in Boninville and from coast to coast to coast.
That is what the federal government can do, and that is what we will do with our plan to modernize the Official Languages Act.
