Mr. Speaker, a resident in the Lower St. Lawrence area in Quebec needed help and dialed 911. Nasty surprise, the operator did not speak French. Let us try to imagine asking for help from someone who does not understand us. Things do not go well and it is disturbing. The CRTC, which regulates cellphones, must ensure that all Canadians, even francophones, have access to 911 service. What explanation does the Prime Minister have for the CRTC's failure to provide security and access to 911 service in both official languages?
