Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my friend and colleague from Cloverdale—Langley City for his important question. I also wish him a happy Francophonie Month. I was very pleased to be in the Vancouver area last week where we announced an investment of nearly $13.5 million, in partnership with the Government of British Columbia, to support a series of projects to recruit, train and retain more francophone teachers. The federal government will always be there to support our francophone communities across the country.

  • Re: Bill C-13 
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his important question. As he aptly noted, Bill C‑13 is currently before the Standing Committee on Official Languages for a clause-by-clause review. Official language minority communities have been waiting for this bill for a long time. Like them, I look forward to having this bill adopted. I hope that the committee will complete its work shortly since stakeholders from one end of the country to the other want this bill passed as soon as possible.
