I, too, am the daughter of immigrants who did not speak French when they arrived in Canada. My parents insisted that my brother and I learn French, in immersion, since French is one of the two official languages of Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053143\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Acknowledging that French is declining highlights the importance of implementing Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11603137\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-13/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Official Languages Act, to enact the Use of French in Federally Regulated Private Businesses Act and to make related amendments to other Acts\">C\u201113</a> and Treasury Board's responsibilities as soon as possible.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053144\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Given this situation, I hope Treasury Board is going to move matters along faster; at a meeting of the Standing Senate Committee on Official Languages, there was talk of two or three years.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053145\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We know that all federal institutions are required to comply with the Official Languages Act, including Part VII of the Act, which deals with the positive measures needed to ensure the development of the official language minority communities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053146\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Do you intend to clarify the concept of positive measures in the regulations under Part VII?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8053140\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Merci beaucoup, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053141\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'aimerais faire un commentaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053142\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je suis sensible \u00e0 l'histoire personnelle de Mme la ministre. En effet, moi aussi, je suis la fille d'immigrants qui ne parlaient pas fran\u00e7ais quand ils sont arriv\u00e9s au Canada. Mes parents ont insist\u00e9 pour que mon fr\u00e8re et moi apprenions le fran\u00e7ais, en immersion, puisque le fran\u00e7ais est l'une des deux langues officielles du pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053143\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Reconna\u00eetre que le fran\u00e7ais est actuellement en d\u00e9clin souligne l'importance de mettre en \u0153uvre d\u00e8s que possible le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11603137\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-13/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Official Languages Act, to enact the Use of French in Federally Regulated Private Businesses Act and to make related amendments to other Acts\">C\u201113</a> et les responsabilit\u00e9s du Conseil du Tr\u00e9sor.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053144\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Dans ce contexte, j'esp\u00e8re que le Conseil du Tr\u00e9sor va faire avancer les choses plus rapidement; lors d'une r\u00e9union du Comit\u00e9 s\u00e9natorial permanent des langues officielles, il avait \u00e9t\u00e9 question de deux ou trois ans.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053145\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On sait que toutes les institutions f\u00e9d\u00e9rales doivent se conformer \u00e0 la Loi sur les langues officielles, notamment \u00e0 la partie VII de la Loi, qui traite des mesures positives n\u00e9cessaires pour assurer le d\u00e9veloppement des communaut\u00e9s de langue officielle en situation minoritaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053146\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Avez-vous l'intention de pr\u00e9ciser le concept de mesures positives dans les r\u00e8glements de la partie VII?</p>"
