Mr. Speaker, I understand that the Bloc Québécois is constantly trying to pick fights over identity issues. The truth is that no previous federal government has done more than we have to protect and support official languages across the country, including to protect French in Quebec. We will always be there to defend official languages, and we will always be there to defend linguistic minorities. I know that the Bloc Québécois cares nothing about francophone communities in Canada outside Quebec, but we will be there for the official languages across the country.

Mr. Speaker, I understand that the leader of the Bloc Québécois is always looking to pick a fight. I would remind him that there are more Quebeckers in our Liberal caucus than in his Bloc Québécois caucus and that we will always stand up for French both in Quebec and across the country. We will be there to invest hundreds of millions of dollars for Quebec, for ensuring that newcomers learn French. We will continue to defend French from coast to coast to coast, with a special focus on Quebec, because we know that Quebec must remain French, first and foremost, and we are there to support it.

Mr. Speaker, I am not sure I followed what the leader of the Conservative Party was saying, but I can say that, although the Bloc Québécois is a party that sometimes picks fights with the federal government, it still recognizes the Conservatives' propensity for defending the wealthy and doing less for those who need it most. That is not the right way to go for anyone in this country, no matter what our political affiliation may be. The fact that the Conservatives continue to oppose an initiative that will ask the wealthiest members of our society to contribute a little more to help our young people and seniors is really disappointing, and I am pleased that the Bloc Québécois is adopting the same position we are.

Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois always aligns itself with the Liberals to keep them in power. It is the Liberal Bloc. Today the Angus Reid Institute reported that one in five Canadians earning between $50,000 and $100,000 a year believe they will be impacted by the Liberal Bloc tax hike. If the Prime Minister wants to deny that, there is a very clear way for him to do it. He can support an amendment to exclude from the tax hike anyone who holds less than 1% of Canada's wealth. Will he do that, yes or no?

Mr. Speaker, that is the same report we are talking about right now. I just want to mention that the Bloc Québécois is tabling a supplementary opinion, which notes that this study took more than two years. I want to put forward the fact that one of the motions adopted—
