Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Salaberry—Suroît for her speech.
I agree with many of the things she said in her speech, in particular the fact that the two official languages do not have equal status and that French is in decline in Quebec. However, we need to concern ourselves with minority languages across Canada and not just in Quebec.
I would like her to clarify a few points. She said that asking immigrants to take a French test would not have an impact on immigration. She gave the example of Victor, a young man in her riding.
I wonder whether taking a French test will not hold back some immigrants. Afterwards, I would obviously like for these people to learn French.
