Mr. Speaker, there is only so much time in a speech. I lived in Winnipeg for three years, and I worked there in French. That gave me the opportunity to learn about francophone realities outside Quebec.
My colleague is absolutely right. The use of French depends on more than just robust and ongoing support for Radio-Canada. The use of French depends on its promotion, especially here in the House. Promoting a language means making it resonate. My government is rather uncompromising on that. There are two official languages in Canada. In any case, I will be a strong defender of French.
