Mr. Speaker, I know that, for many years, the Government of Quebec has had very good representatives in Washington and elsewhere in the world to talk about issues relating to its provincial laws. At the same time, as a bilingual country that protects French and English within its borders, we will continue to be there during negotiations—as we were during the renegotiation of NAFTA several years ago with the American government—to protect Canada's culture and linguistic reality as well as the distinct character of our citizens from coast to coast to coast.

Mr. Speaker, the Official Languages Act protects linguistic minorities right across the country. A big part of that, of course, is protecting francophone minorities everywhere outside Quebec. It also includes our responsibility to protect both official languages in a bilingual country and to protect all linguistic minorities. We will continue to do so. That does not prevent us from doing everything we can to protect the French language. It is not the anglophone minority in Quebec that poses a threat to the French language in Quebec. We will continue to fight to protect French everywhere in Quebec and right across the country.

Mr. Speaker, let us be very clear. The principle of bilingualism is fundamental for this government, and we modernized the Official Languages Act with the coming into force of Bill C-13 this year. We expect the RCMP to respect this principle and to hire bilingual staff to fill bilingual positions. I know that the Minister of Public Safety will be speaking with the RCMP commissioner directly this afternoon.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Halifax West for her question and for her hard work. This morning we unveiled our new action plan for official languages. It includes historic investments to protect and promote our official languages. With this plan, we are investing over $4 billion in targeted areas such as francophone immigration, the educational continuum and the shortage of bilingual workers. Unlike the Conservative Party, which wants to cut access to local and French-language news, our government is once again standing up for linguistic minorities across the country.
