Mr. Speaker, $2 billion to boost English in Quebec since 1995: That is what the federal government has done for official languages in Quebec. That is not all, however; the Prime Minister is investing another $800 million in his action plan for official languages, and English is again reaping the benefits. How many times do we need to say it? French is the language in decline in Quebec. The anglicization of Quebec is alive and well. Will the Prime Minister do something for Quebec and redirect our tax money to supporting the French language?

Mr. Speaker, how many times do we need to say it? English is not a minority language. We are surrounded by 360 million anglophones in North America. Even Quebeckers speak English because bilingualism in Canada is a francophone thing. In Quebec, we are fighting tooth and nail to protect the French language and indigenous languages. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister is undoing everything we have done by handing out yet another $800 million for English in Quebec. When will he stop promoting the anglicization of Quebec?
