Mr. Speaker, he is allergic to the simple word “yes”.
We can see it: The inability to ensure that the number of immigrants Quebec so generously welcomes learn French, the decline of French in the Canadian public service, the unilingual English federally regulated employees in Quebec, the protection given a member who insults researchers duly invited to Parliament, all the money for protecting so-called minority languages in Canada sent to anglophones in Quebec, and the funds spent on fighting Bill 96 all the way to the Supreme Court.
Does the Prime Minister realize that francophones in Quebec and Canada—and we might be their only friends—are wondering if French even has a future here?
