Madam Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Official Languages. This government is talking out of both sides of its mouth. First, the Minister of Official Languages claims to want to protect the French language, but then, her colleague, the Minister of Justice, rejects the ruling from the Federal Court of Appeal and wants to take francophones to court. Talk about hypocrisy. Will the Minister of Official Languages show some respect for francophones and put a stop to this legal action?

Madam Speaker, this is my first time rising in the House on a point of order, and it is on the same issue as my opposition colleague. The opposition members boast about wanting to defend official languages. However, when they shout in the House like that, they are showing a lack of respect for the interpreters, who are trying to do their job. My first language is French. When I cannot hear what is being said because opposition members are shouting at the top of their lungs, they are showing a lack of respect for the interpreters who are trying to tell us what is happening in the House.
