  • Re: Bill C-13 
Madam Speaker, I will take that as a no. It is probably because Bill C‑13 does not really protect French in Quebec. It protects institutional bilingualism, which results in the anglicization of workplaces and reduces the perception of the importance of being fluent in French in Quebec. Bill C‑13 does not recognize that French is the only official language that requires protection in light of the predominance of English in North America. Is it possible that the Académie française did not invite the Minister of Official Languages because Bill C‑13 lacks vision?
