Hon. Marc Gold (Government Representative in the Senate): Thank you for that question, honourable colleague. Minister Fraser understands the importance of Canada’s linguistic duality. I am told that he is working very hard each week to learn and improve on his French. He has made a lot of progress since 2015.
Not to make excuses, but to put things into context, the entire press conference was translated into French, as is every press conference held in the National Press Theatre.
