Official Languages committee   in Manitoba, there are 45,000 old stock Francophones, but 110,000 French speakers. These figures are starting to get interesting. We've invested, under the action plan, more than 50% of the funding for education, immersion and so on. I'd like to know whether efforts are being made in Nova

Official Languages committee  As you know, our government is very supportive of communities, especially as regards access to health care in their language.

Income Tax Amendments Act, 2000   with the provinces about social housing. Let us look at that. Do people know what the government wants to do?
