Mr. Speaker, my colleague said earlier that this budget supports French. She mentioned a subsidy for National Acadian Day. I agree with that. That is good news.
However, there is nothing else. At the Standing Committee on Official Languages, we have heard from various francophone associations and school boards outside Quebec who are saying that they do not have enough money or enough schools. There is a real decline in French. Despite the fact that the modernized version of the Official Languages Act includes elements that were adopted to promote French in Quebec, there is nothing at all in the budget for Quebec, nothing has been done. The government is not abiding by its own Official Languages Act when it comes to defending the French language in Quebec.
What are my colleague's thoughts on that?
