  • Re: Bill C-13 
Mr. Speaker, if they want to work with us, then they need to listen to us a little. With their new Bill C-13, the Liberals are denying French's uniqueness in a sea of hundreds of millions of anglophones. They are preventing Quebec from applying the Charter of the French Language to all federally regulated businesses. They are not protecting French. They are protecting bilingualism, which is not at all at risk in Quebec, any more than English is. Bilingualism is doing so well that it is undermining French as the common language. Does the minister realize that her bill does not protect French but instead encourages anglicization?
