Mr. Speaker, as they say in mass, and then there was light. I truly understand why the Prime Minister was so hostile to our motion on the separation of church and state. He was planning to spend a week with the heir apparent to the British throne, who, incidently, is the future head of the Church of England. We see and understand his priorities. Now that we know that we must pray for the royals of the British monarchy and that they are welcome here, can the Prime Minister tell us how much this costs?

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?

Mr. Speaker, he needs the Prince of Wales around in order to meet with business people and indigenous people? Okay then. Meanwhile, he appoints people to represent the monarchy who do not speak French. He supports the Liberal MPs who are challenging Camille Laurin's and René Lévesque's Bill 101. He refuses to allow the Charter of the French Language to apply to federally regulated businesses. In light of all that, is the Prime Minister preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the French language?
