Mr. Speaker, our government remains firmly committed to protecting the French language here in Canada.
It is important to note that Her Excellency the Governor General did not have the opportunity to learn French when she was young because of discrimination. She is the first indigenous woman to hold the position. She speaks one of our indigenous languages, which we are very proud of.
We expect the Governor General to continue her studies in French. Linguistic duality is at the heart of our identity as Canadians.
