Mr. Speaker, here we go again, having to talk about the Liberals' blunders when it comes to the French language. Last week, the member for Alfred-Pellan wanted to promote English to the status of an official language in Quebec. Obviously, he was criticized by the parties in the Quebec National Assembly. Even the Quebec Liberals described it as an attack on Robert Bourassa's legacy. In this Parliament, however, not a single Liberal has spoken out so far against what the member for Alfred-Pellan proposed. Silence means consent. Will someone finally stand up and put the member in his place?

Mr. Speaker, that is nonsense. Unfortunately, it will not be long before the member for Alfred-Pellan's wish to anglicize Quebec comes true. The Liberals are working on it already. The Office québécois de la langue française reports that the federal government is the worst employer in Quebec when it comes to the right to work primarily in French. Quebec's French language commissioner has proven that integrating immigrants into French-speaking society is impossible if the levels endorsed by Ottawa are maintained. The Liberals are already acting as if English is an official language. Could that be why they are defending their member for Alfred-Pellan?
