Mr. Speaker, the Liberals seem to have a newfound appreciation for the cause of the francophonie.
The Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie, or APF, had 18 Liberals in 2021, 11 in 2022, and 22 in 2023. Since last week, there has been a sudden awakening: No less than 112 members of the Liberal caucus are now members of the APF. I say bravo. Francophiles thank them. It is an extraordinary commitment to the French language.
However, could someone tell us what is the Liberals' priority issue at the APF that explains such a sudden commitment on their part?
