Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague from Salaberry—Suroît on her speech, I would like to hear her thoughts on the following. Yes, health is important, but it is healthy food that leads to good health. Last week, I was in touch with with several food banks in my riding. To my great surprise, I learned that there has been a significant increase in the use of food banks, an increase of more than 25%. A third of clients who who use food banks are children. In the current budget, I did not see much money to support food banks and to help children. What does my colleague think of that?

Mr. Speaker, Statistics Canada is putting the spotlight on the decline of French in the workplace. One the three worst sectors is banking, which is under federal jurisdiction. For 45 years, the federal government has allowed banks to circumvent Bill 101. As a result, this sector has become a major contributor to the anglicization of Quebec. The Liberals know all this and they have the Statistics Canada figures in hand, so why do they still want to allow the banks to get around the Charter of the French Language in Bill C-13?
