Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to my colleague.
There is the Official Languages Act, but this evening we are talking about whether the two languages are on equal footing. In fact, there is one language that is doing very well and another that is not doing well at all.
I have a question for my colleague, who has been an MP much longer than I have. I have been an MP for about five minutes, and we have already had two emergency debates on French. That is crazy.
When was the last time there was a debate in the House of Commons on the status of English in Canada?
