Mr. Speaker, I am an anglophone, but I speak French. What did he say? I can speak French in the House and I can speak with all representatives of public services in French or English. I am going to continue trying to implement parts IV, V and VI of the Official Languages Act. That is my responsibility and our priority.

Mr. Speaker, I am also speaking with the commissioner. I have held discussions with him, with everyone in our government and in our country to tell them that, as President of the Treasury Board, I am committed to implementing parts IV, V and VI of the Official Languages Act in federal institutions. It is very important work. As I said, we are committed to fostering a work environment conducive to the use of English and French in the public service.

Mr. Speaker, that is not at all true. We know that a more bilingual public service is what will best meet the needs of Canadians. Receiving government services in either official language is a fundamental right. We continue to protect and promote the French language. We are determined to foster a work environment that is conducive to the use of French and English.

Mr. Speaker, our two official languages are an asset for all Canadians. We continue to protect both official languages all the time, every month and every year. Since 2015, our government has been committed to enhancing French and English after 10 years of underinvestment by the opposition. That is what we have done. Let us continue to protect both official languages always.
