Mr. Speaker, I am very concerned about the Conservative leader's tactics to divide Canadians and create conflict between francophone and anglophone communities. My riding has a very strong and proud Franco-Ontarian population. Many francophone communities are in rural areas. In my region, Radio-Canada is essential. In northern Ontario, it would be impossible to separate Radio-Canada from CBC because it is the same company.
Why are the Conservatives trying to use divisive politics to force a confrontation between francophones and anglophones across Canada?
