Mr. Speaker, what the member does not recognize is that since the Province of Quebec changed the law, there are more people speaking French today.
We can go into schools in areas that I represent, like Meadows West and Sisler High, and we will find members of Filipino and Punjabi heritage being able to speak multiple languages. There is a great sense of pride in Manitoba today. My family goes from the province of Quebec to St-Pierre-Jolys in Manitoba. St-Pierre-Jolys is very French. Members can go to St. Boniface, which is a French community. Signs are there.
Never before in the history of Canada has French been spoken more in Quebec. Does the member see that as a good thing?
