Hon. Tony Loffreda: Thank you, minister, for being with us this afternoon. I would like to speak about the issue of minority language rights in Canada.

[English]

My question is on protecting the rights of English-speaking minorities in Quebec and French-speaking minorities across Canada. Although the question has been asked, I noticed that the minister wanted to elaborate further on how you plan to protect minority rights in Quebec. I welcome additional comments on this important issue.
