Mr. Speaker, I want to say that the Bloc Québécois will be presenting a dissenting opinion. More importantly, I want Quebeckers to know that all of the recommendations in this report are aimed exclusively at supporting the economic development of English-speaking Quebec. That is really unfair and appalling.
We know that the English-speaking community is growing and developing and that it is highly favoured. For French-speaking Quebeckers, who are in the majority in their own state but in the minority in Canada, there is nothing, no offer of support. Despite the new elements that we managed to include in the new federal language law for Quebec and for all official languages support programs, there are only measures to strengthen the anglophone community. Let us remember that these measures are funded in part by the federal taxes that Quebeckers send to Ottawa every year.
The recommendations were all approved by the Liberals, the Conservatives and the NDP, which shows that only the Bloc Québécois is defending French in Quebec and that the only real way to protect our national language going forward is for Quebec to become independent.
