Mr. Speaker, regurgitated talking points are not an answer. The author of the study, economist Mario Polèse, said that equality between the two languages is no longer sufficient because the two languages are not equal in their ability to attract newcomers or in their importance, period. This means that French needs to be prioritized. The problem with Bill C-13 is that the minister continues to put English and French on an equal footing in Quebec, when in fact, only French is under threat. Putting both languages on an equal footing means stomping on my language with both feet.
