Mr. Speaker, as a Franco-Ontarian, I listened carefully to my colleague's speech.
With all due respect, I would like to mention that we, as French Canadians, live and survive in the French language. We have just celebrated the 50th anniversary of our flag. We have schools and our community health care centres. We live our lives in French. It is much the same across Canada.
My daughter just moved to Thunder Bay. My grandson immediately started attending a French-language school. That is the reality, whether in Maillardville, British Columbia or St. Boniface.
My question is this: How does my colleague's bill protect the French language outside Quebec?
