Mr. Speaker, I thank the francophones and francophiles who celebrated the International Day of La Francophonie yesterday. We must thank the pioneers and builders across Canada who fought, worked and advocated to ensure that we can access services in French and English in official language minority communities. The francophonie should be celebrated for the significant cultural and economic contributions it has made to Canada. We must support our community organizations and promote education, from early childhood right through to post-secondary, across the country. I thank all of the proud private-sector companies that promote the French language and that are working hard to provide bilingual services to their customers. Let us celebrate the culture, community and pride that unite us. Let us show deep compassion for our neighbours and be proud of our diversity.
