Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister managed to praise democracy and the monarchy in the same sentence. Unbelievable. This is the same monarchy whose quick little vacation I am paying for, and the same monarchy that he is maintaining by appointing a Governor General and a Lieutenant Governor who do not speak a word of French. Will the Prime Minister try to explain to the Prince of Wales that the Dominion of Canada is bilingual?

Madam Speaker, it is nice to hear my colleagues speak French in the House. That is the point I wanted to make. Canada is bilingual, and that is more or less what we hear. The mere fact that there are a lot of Bloc Québécois members in the House means that a lot more French is spoken. There are a lot more members who are defending the French language and who want to fight for its survival in Quebec and across Canada. I think that significant representation like this could be very beneficial for the French language.
