Mr. Speaker, I assure my colleague that the Conservatives will work in support of the French language. Not a week goes by without us hearing a story about this government's contempt for official languages. Last Thursday, the Parliamentary Budget Officer revealed that, in response to his inquiries, three departments refused to disclose their planned expenditures pertaining to the modernization of official languages. This was this first time that this officer of the House of Commons has not gotten a response. What excuse does the Prime Minister have this time?

Mr. Speaker, the answer is simple. We have absolutely nothing to hide on this side of the House. We want to do everything we can to protect and promote the beautiful French language. That is why we are moving forward with an ambitious bill that has more bite. I hope that my hon. colleague and all the parties in the House will work with us to get this bill passed as quickly as possible.

Madam Speaker, I would like to begin by congratulating my colleague from British Columbia on his appointment as our finance critic. I also want to commend him on the quality of his French. I am sure that all his friends in Quebec are thrilled to see that when someone puts in the necessary effort, they can speak more than respectable French. I would like to thank him and congratulate him from the bottom of my heart. It is clear to us Conservatives that industry is the backbone of wealth creation in Canada, and everything must be done to encourage it.
