Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Winnipeg North and I have served together. It is true that I have always promoted French within the team and I am a proud defender of French. I would say that I am a proud defender of linguistic minorities. Whether we are talking about French outside Quebec, French in Quebec or linguistic minorities in Quebec, it is important to me to defend them and to continue to defend them.
The territories did not participate in the federal carbon exchange. We are talking about British Columbia, Quebec and, I believe, the Northwest Territories. It is only natural that there is no rebate for those who did not pay the carbon tax. I thank my colleague for acknowledging that. I look forward to hearing more words in French in the near future.
