Mr. Speaker, I wish to welcome my colleague to the House. This is the first time we have had the opportunity to share ideas. I agree, this is realpolitik. Canada is a bilingual country where both official languages are supposed to be present in every province, with national services available in both languages. I will always fight to ensure that all services available in English are also available in French. Sometimes they are not. Sometimes, things are not equal but they should be, always, 100% equal. I believe that CBC/Radio-Canada provides an important service to the entire country. We should ensure that it is available in both official languages.
In the House of Commons on November 26th, 2024. See this statement in context.
