Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois's comments are very hypocritical. First of all, the action plan that we put forward to strengthen the French language was the most ambitious ever. The Bloc Québécois voted against it. In budget 2024, we are investing heavily to create substantive equality between the official languages. What did the Bloc Québécois do? Again, it voted no. The Bloc could at least have the courage to stand by its position and admit that it says one thing and does the opposite.

Mr. Speaker, when it comes to French, the Liberals are a horror show. It starts with the Prime Minister, who wanted to make Gatineau bilingual. Then there is the member for Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, who thinks that people who worry about the decline of French are being extreme and are full of the s-word. Next, there is the member for Mount Royal, who said that it was a disgrace to apply Bill 101 to federally regulated businesses. On top of that, there is the member for Saint-Laurent, who thinks that Bill 96 will prevent anglophones from getting care. It is nonsense. Why are the Liberals systematically incapable of talking about the French language without going off the rails?
