Mr. Speaker, there were so many Liberals at the Bill 96 demonstration on Saturday that it was like being at their convention. In attendance were the members for Mount Royal, Saint‑Laurent, Vimy, Saint‑Léonard—Saint‑Michel, Vaudreuil—Soulanges, Lac‑Saint‑Louis, Pierrefonds—Dollard and Dorval—Lachine—LaSalle. It was quite the party. This raises questions. Is the federal government now going to wage war on Quebec's Bill 96? If not, will the Deputy Prime Minister tell her merry band of superstars to mind their own business?

Mr. Speaker, the federal Liberals are currently fighting two battles with respect to French. There are the superstars who are trying to fight Quebec's Bill 96 and a group of ministers, with their own bill, Bill C-13, who want to block one of the key measures of Bill 96, which would impose the Charter of the French Language on federally regulated businesses. Both groups want to thwart Bill 96 or lessen its impact by promoting English as the language of work. Do the Liberals want to defend French or further anglicize Quebec?
