        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"755305\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, as I was saying, I will focus on my new responsibilities as the official opposition's heritage and official languages critic.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755306\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I will share my time with the member for <a data-HoCid=\"78902\" href=\"/politicians/397/\" title=\"Omar Alghabra\">Mississauga\u2014Erindale</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755307\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I believe that the Conservative government should offer a coherent vision of cultural life in Canada, a vision that does not neglect our cultural industries, our artistic institutions, our museums, our artists or our public broadcaster.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755308\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Conservatives did not do that. In the throne speech there was mention of finally acting on copyright, but there were no details as to content or timing. Legislation had been promised before June 2006 on this matter and then before Christmas 2006. Now, 18 months later, we may get this legislation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755309\" data-originallang=\"en\">When the <a data-HoCid=\"111556\" href=\"/politicians/josee-verner/\" title=\"Jos\u00e9e Verner\"> minister</a> spoke yesterday, many were hoping to hear a few details on that and her thoughts on a number of other important dossiers in the matters of heritage. Yesterday there was not a word. There was not a word about our public broadcaster, not a word about reassuring Canadians as to whether or not the Reform dissenting opinion of the Lincoln report in 2003 still holds, which would have privatized CBC. There was not a word from the minister on that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755310\" data-originallang=\"en\">There was not a word about a museums policy. There was not a word about the museums assistance program. The Canadian Museums Association had been given a commitment that a policy would be forthcoming before Christmas 2006. Christmas came and went and it did not get that policy. Yesterday there was not a word.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755311\" data-originallang=\"en\">The <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> announced that the Government of Canada would finance the operational costs of the new human rights museum in Winnipeg, which is fine, but there is still a question mark as to whether or not the $22 million will be coming from an existing envelope or whether the envelope overall will be increased. My information is that it is from the existing envelope, therefore choking off the existing museums, so much so that they have to do fundraising, as has been reported, to make acquisitions. There was not a word about all of this.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755312\" data-originallang=\"en\">There was also not a word about increasing the museums assistance program. In the last election the Conservatives promised to actually increase the funding to small museums across the country. Lo and behold, what they did instead was the opposite. They reduced the museums assistance program. There was not a word about that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755313\" data-originallang=\"en\">There was not a word about the exhibition transportation services for museums and galleries, which is very useful to the smaller galleries and museums. This will expire at the end of March 2008. There was not a word about that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755314\" data-originallang=\"en\">There was not a word about the portrait gallery. Many people have been asking about that. What is the policy framework within which the government will be making the decision as to where the portrait gallery should be located? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755315\" data-originallang=\"en\">There was not a word about the television fund. Will it ever be A-based? Will it be indexed? What about funding for Telefilm and the National Film Board? Will they be increased? Will they be indexed? There was not a word.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755316\" data-originallang=\"en\">There was not a word about festivals. There was not a word about where the minister is vis-\u00e0-vis the CRTC and Canadian content and foreign ownership restrictions. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755317\" data-originallang=\"en\">Right now we have a situation where the government has, by executive fiat, which comes from the industry department and not from the heritage department, directed the CRTC essentially to let market forces dominate. Is the <a data-HoCid=\"111556\" href=\"/politicians/josee-verner/\" title=\"Jos\u00e9e Verner\">minister's</a> silence consent as to this direction for Canadian cultural industries, Canadian television and film content? If it is, perhaps she should have said so yesterday.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755318\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Canada's cultural and artistic communities have not been given enough information. They do not know what to expect from the Conservative government. This is not unlike what happened when the federal government copied the Liberal Party's promise during the last election campaign to double funding for the Council for the Arts. As it turns out, that is not at all what the government has done. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755319\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The minister talked exclusively about official languages earlier, and that is fine, but she could have mentioned her other portfolio: Canadian Heritage. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755320\" data-originallang=\"fr\">With respect to official languages, she congratulated herself on having signed service and education agreements with all of the provinces. I should hope so, because by the time the government came to power, those agreements had already been negotiated and confirmed. All she had to do was sign them. The Conservatives can go ahead and take all the credit, but they really should give credit where credit is due.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755321\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The minister said that she met with the ministers responsible for la Francophonie a month ago. However, she failed to mention that these very ministers issued a press release demanding that the federal government renew the action plan that was introduced by its predecessor in 2003.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755322\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Let us talk about this plan. This begs a fundamental question: does the Conservative government intend to renew the plan? It found all manner of ways to avoid this word, avoid this specific commitment. What the linguistic minority communities across the country are asking for, and what the ministers responsible for la Francophonie across the country asked for, is that the action plan be renewed. In the Speech from the Throne, there is not a single occurrence of the word \u201crenewal\u201d. The government has chosen its words carefully.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755323\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The minister wanted to focus on the issue of official languages; we were hoping she would, because it is not clear. Would the plan be renewed for one year, two years, five years? It is not clear. How much money would be allocated? Not a word. Are we talking about broadening this action plan? A promise was made after many consultations with the communities. It was a matter of broadening the plan to incorporate programs for young people, women, seniors, culture and international issues. Not a word.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755324\" data-originallang=\"fr\">She did not talk about the setbacks we have had under her government either; the cancellation of the court challenges program, for example. As for the Official Languages Secretariat, which was a branch of the Privy Council, the government decided to transfer it to Canadian Heritage, when we know full well that a secretariat located in a central agency has a lot more influence and a greater ability to take action.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755325\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Were it not for the existence of this secretariat at the Privy Council when I was minister responsible for official languages, we would not have succeeded in getting language clauses in the early childhood agreements with every province. What did this government do? It relieved the Privy Council of its role in official languages and gave that role to Canadian Heritage. The communities are having a hard time getting their bearings. The minister could have said a few words about this, but she chose not to say a word.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755326\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As for the new round of budget cuts just starting, which her department is subject to, would the action plan for official languages be protected from these cuts this time? Not a word.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755327\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As for the Department of National Defence in this struggle to promote linguistic duality, and we totally agree that it is the role of the Government of Canada to ensure that the Official Languages Act is respected across the country, there is not a word. National Defence has given up and there is not a word on this from the government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755328\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nor was anything said about one of the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a>'s first actions when he came to power, informing us that he intended to cancel all early childhood agreements\u2014the very agreements that had been negotiated and that communities were celebrating from one end of the country to the other. It is a major setback for these communities. The minister did not say one word about this.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755329\" data-originallang=\"fr\">There is not one word about the fact that, after they were elected, the Conservatives decided that the Commissioner of Official Languages, an officer of this House, would no longer report to the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> but would report to another minister. Previous governments had indicated the importance they attributed to the issue of linguistic duality and the official languages. They said that, in terms of the government, the Commissioner of Official Languages reported to the Prime Minister. In terms of his mandate, he obviously reports to the House of Commons, as he should.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755330\" data-originallang=\"fr\">However, even more disturbing, there is not a word about Bill <a data-HoCid=\"1426991\" href=\"/bills/39-2/S-3/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Official Languages Act (promotion of English and French)\">S-3</a>. When in opposition, his government supported the bill, which dealt with the last amendments to the Official Languages Act made in November 2005, when everyone was celebrating. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755331\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Where are the plans that were to come out of the application of Bill <a data-HoCid=\"2331922\" href=\"/bills/39-2/S-3/\" title=\"An Act to amend the National Defence Act, the Criminal Code, the Sex Offender Information Registration Act and the Criminal Records Act\">S-3</a>? Where is the regulatory framework? Where are the consultations that will result in the regulations? Where is the cabinet committee on official languages, the ad hoc committee that has not met, as far as I know, for 18 months? What is the minister doing about these matters?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755332\" data-originallang=\"fr\">All I can do, as did the Commissioner for Official Languages in his first report, is criticize the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> and his government for not having backed up these lovely words with concrete action.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"755305\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, comme je le disais, je me concentrerai principalement sur les nouvelles fonctions qui m'incombent \u00e0 titre de porte-parole de l'opposition officielle en mati\u00e8re de patrimoine et de langues officielles.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755306\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je partagerai le temps qui m'est imparti avec le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"78902\" href=\"/politicians/397/\" title=\"Omar Alghabra\">Mississauga\u2014Erindale</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755307\" data-originallang=\"fr\">\u00c0 mon avis, le gouvernement conservateur se devait de pr\u00e9senter une vision coh\u00e9rente de la vie culturelle canadienne \u2014 une vision qui ne n\u00e9glige pas nos industries culturelles, nos institutions artistiques, nos mus\u00e9es, nos artistes ni notre diffuseur public.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755308\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Les conservateurs ne l\u2019ont pas fait. Le discours du Tr\u00f4ne mentionnait qu\u2019on allait finalement l\u00e9gif\u00e9rer \u00e0 propos du droit d\u2019auteur, mais il n\u2019y avait aucun d\u00e9tail sur le contenu d\u2019une mesure ou sur le moment. On avait promis de l\u00e9gif\u00e9rer sur cette question avant juin 2006, puis avant No\u00ebl 2006. Voici que, 18 mois plus tard, ce projet de loi pourrait voir le jour. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755309\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Quand <a data-HoCid=\"111556\" href=\"/politicians/josee-verner/\" title=\"Jos\u00e9e Verner\">la ministre</a> a pris la parole hier, nombreux sont ceux qui esp\u00e9raient l\u2019entendre donner des d\u00e9tails sur le sujet et son opinion sur d\u2019autres dossiers importants concernant le patrimoine. Il n\u2019y a pas eu un mot l\u00e0 dessus hier. Pas un mot non plus au sujet de notre radiodiffuseur public, pas un mot pour rassurer les Canadiens qui se demandent si l\u2019opinion dissidente du Parti r\u00e9formiste contenue dans le rapport Lincoln, publi\u00e9 en 2003, tenait toujours, et qui pr\u00f4nait la privatisation de Radio Canada. La ministre n\u2019a pas dit un mot de cela.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755310\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Il n\u2019y a pas eu un mot concernant une politique sur les mus\u00e9es. Pas un mot non plus sur le Programme d\u2019aide aux mus\u00e9es. On avait promis \u00e0 l\u2019Association des mus\u00e9es canadiens qu\u2019une politique serait pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e avant No\u00ebl 2006. No\u00ebl est venu, mais pas la politique. Hier, pas un mot n\u2019a \u00e9t\u00e9 prononc\u00e9 \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755311\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> a annonc\u00e9 que le gouvernement du Canada assumerait les co\u00fbts op\u00e9rationnels du nouveau mus\u00e9e des droits de l\u2019homme \u00e0 Winnipeg, ce qui est bien, mais on ne sait pas encore si les 22 millions de dollars viendront d\u2019une enveloppe existante ou si l\u2019enveloppe sera augment\u00e9e. \u00c0 ce que je sache, cette somme viendra de l\u2019enveloppe existante, de sorte que les mus\u00e9es existants vont en p\u00e2tir, \u00e0 tel point qu\u2019ils devront recourir \u00e0 des activit\u00e9s de financement, comme certains l\u2019ont dit, pour faire des acquisitions. Il n\u2019y avait pas un mot sur tout cela.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755312\" data-originallang=\"en\"> De m\u00eame, il n\u2019y a pas eu un mot sur l\u2019augmentation du Programme d\u2019aide aux mus\u00e9es. Lors de la derni\u00e8re campagne \u00e9lectorale, les conservateurs avaient promis d\u2019augmenter le financement accord\u00e9 aux petits mus\u00e9es partout au Canada. Or, ils ont fait le contraire. Ils ont r\u00e9duit le Programme d\u2019aide aux mus\u00e9es. Pas un mot n\u2019a \u00e9t\u00e9 prononc\u00e9 \u00e0 ce sujet.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755313\" data-originallang=\"en\"> On n\u2019a pas parl\u00e9 des services de transport d\u2019expositions pour les mus\u00e9es, qui sont tr\u00e8s utiles dans le cas de petites institutions. Ces services se terminent \u00e0 la fin de mars 2008. Il n\u2019y a pas eu un mot l\u00e0 dessus.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755314\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Pas un mot n\u2019a \u00e9t\u00e9 prononc\u00e9 sur le Mus\u00e9e du portrait. Bien des gens posent des questions. Selon quel cadre strat\u00e9gique le gouvernement va-t-il d\u00e9cider de l\u2019emplacement de ce mus\u00e9e?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755315\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Il n\u2019y a pas eu un mot sur le Fonds de t\u00e9l\u00e9vision. Sera-t-il question un jour de budget de services vot\u00e9s? Sera-t-il index\u00e9? Qu\u2019en est-il du financement de T\u00e9l\u00e9film et de l\u2019Office national du film? Sera-t- il augment\u00e9? Sera-t-il index\u00e9? Il n\u2019y a pas eu un mot.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755316\" data-originallang=\"en\"> On n\u2019a rien dit des festivals. On n\u2019a donn\u00e9 aucune indication concernant la position de la ministre vis-\u00e0-vis du CRTC et des restrictions visant le contenu canadien et la propri\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9trang\u00e8re.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755317\" data-originallang=\"en\"> \u00c0 l\u2019heure actuelle, la situation est que le gouvernement a, sur la foi d\u2019un simple d\u00e9cret de l\u2019ex\u00e9cutif, qui vient du minist\u00e8re de l\u2019Industrie et non du minist\u00e8re du Patrimoine, ordonn\u00e9 essentiellement au CRTC de laisser dominer les forces du march\u00e9. Est-ce que le silence de la <a data-HoCid=\"111556\" href=\"/politicians/josee-verner/\" title=\"Jos\u00e9e Verner\">ministre</a> signifie qu\u2019elle consent \u00e0 cette directive pour les industries culturelles canadiennes, la t\u00e9l\u00e9vision canadienne et le contenu des films? Si c\u2019est le cas, elle aurait peut-\u00eatre d\u00fb le dire hier. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755318\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le milieu artistique et culturel reste donc sur sa faim, dans l'incertitude quant \u00e0 ce \u00e0 quoi il peut s'attendre du gouvernement conservateur. C'est un peu, d'ailleurs, comme ce que gouvernement a fait lorsqu'il a laiss\u00e9 entendre, durant les derni\u00e8res \u00e9lections, qu'il doublerait le financement du Conseil des arts comme l'avait promis le Parti lib\u00e9ral, alors qu'en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 il a fait tout autre chose.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755319\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La ministre n'a parl\u00e9 que des langues officielles plus t\u00f4t. J'en suis fort aise. Par contre, elle aurait pu s'attarder un peu au portefeuille du minist\u00e8re du Patrimoine canadien dont elle est responsable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755320\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Au chapitre des langues officielles, elle s'est f\u00e9licit\u00e9e d'avoir sign\u00e9 des ententes de services avec toutes les provinces, ainsi qu'en \u00e9ducation. On esp\u00e8re bien! En effet, lorsque le gouvernement est arriv\u00e9 au pouvoir, ces ententes avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 n\u00e9goci\u00e9es et conclues. Il ne restait qu'\u00e0 les signer. Si les conservateurs veulent se donner tout le cr\u00e9dit, qu'ils le prennent, mais il faudrait quand m\u00eame faire la part des choses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755321\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La ministre dit avoir rencontr\u00e9, il y a un mois, les ministres responsables de la Francophonie. Par contre, ce qu'elle ne dit pas, c'est que ces m\u00eames ministres ont, par voie de communiqu\u00e9, demand\u00e9 le renouvellement du plan d'action qui avait \u00e9t\u00e9 introduit par le gouvernement pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent en 2003. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755322\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Parlons de ce plan. Une question fondamentale se pose: le gouvernement conservateur a-t-il l'intention de le renouveler? Il a trouv\u00e9 de multiples fa\u00e7ons d'\u00e9viter ce mot, d'\u00e9viter cet engagement pr\u00e9cis. Ce que les communaut\u00e9s linguistiques minoritaires partout au pays demandent, et ce que les ministres responsables de la Francophonie partout au pays ont demand\u00e9, c'est le renouvellement du plan d'action. Or, dans le discours du Tr\u00f4ne, on ne retrouve pas le mot \u00ab renouvellement \u00bb. On danse. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755323\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> La ministre a voulu s'attarder \u00e0 la question des langues officielles; on aurait esp\u00e9r\u00e9 qu'elle en parle, car ce n'est pas clair. Le plan serait-il renouvel\u00e9 pour un an, deux ans, cinq ans? Ce n'est pas clair. Quel en serait le montant? Pas un mot. Parle-t-on de l'\u00e9largissement de ce plan d'action? Un engagement avait \u00e9t\u00e9 pris \u00e0 la suite de consultations multiples avec les communaut\u00e9s. Il \u00e9tait question d'un \u00e9largissement pour incorporer des programmes pour les jeunes, les femmes, les personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es, la culture et l'international. Pas un mot.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755324\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Elle n'a pas non plus parl\u00e9 des reculs que l'on a connus sous son gouvernement, par exemple, l'\u00e9limination du Programme de contestation judiciaire. En outre, en ce qui concerne le Secr\u00e9tariat des langues officielles qui \u00e9tait sous la tutelle du Conseil priv\u00e9, le gouvernement a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de le d\u00e9m\u00e9nager sous la tutelle du minist\u00e8re du Patrimoine canadien, alors qu'on sait fort bien que lorsqu'un secr\u00e9tariat est situ\u00e9 dans une agence centrale, il a beaucoup plus d'influence et de capacit\u00e9 d'intervention. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755325\" data-originallang=\"fr\">N'e\u00fbt \u00e9t\u00e9 l'existence de ce secr\u00e9tariat au Conseil priv\u00e9 alors que j'\u00e9tais ministre responsable des langues officielles, nous n'aurions pas r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 avoir, avec chaque province, des clauses linguistiques dans les ententes sur la petite enfance. Qu'a fait ce gouvernement? Il a \u00e9vacu\u00e9 le r\u00f4le du Conseil priv\u00e9 par rapport aux langues officielles et il a envoy\u00e9 cela au minist\u00e8re du Patrimoine canadien. Les communaut\u00e9s ont de la difficult\u00e9 \u00e0 s'y retrouver. La ministre aurait pu en parler, mais elle a choisi de ne pas dire un mot.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755326\" data-originallang=\"fr\">En ce qui concerne la nouvelle ronde de coupes budg\u00e9taires qui s'amorcent et auxquelles est assujetti son minist\u00e8re, le plan des langues officielles serait-il \u00e0 l'abri de ces coupes, cette fois? Pas un mot. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755327\" data-originallang=\"fr\">En ce qui a trait au minist\u00e8re de la D\u00e9fense nationale dans cette lutte pour valoriser la dualit\u00e9 linguistique, et au sujet de laquelle nous convenons tout \u00e0 fait que c'est le r\u00f4le du gouvernement du Canada de faire respecter la Loi sur les langues officielles partout au pays, il n'y a pas un mot non plus. La D\u00e9fense nationale a baiss\u00e9 les bras, et il n'y a pas un mot de son gouvernement \u00e0 ce sujet.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755328\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il n'y a pas un mot, non plus, sur l'un des premiers gestes que son <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> a pos\u00e9s lorsqu'il est arriv\u00e9 au pouvoir, soit de signaler qu'il avait l'intention d'annuler toutes les ententes portant sur la petite enfance \u2014 ententes qui avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 n\u00e9goci\u00e9es et que les communaut\u00e9s c\u00e9l\u00e9braient d'un bout \u00e0 l'autre du pays. C'est un recul majeur pour ces communaut\u00e9s. Pas un mot \u00e0 ce sujet de la part de la ministre. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755329\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il n'y a pas un mot sur le fait que, depuis leur arriv\u00e9e au pouvoir, les conservateurs ont d\u00e9cid\u00e9 que le commissaire aux langues officielles, un agent de cette Chambre, ne se rapporte plus au <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> mais \u00e0 un autre ministre, alors qu'auparavant, les gouvernements pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents indiquaient l'importance qu'ils attribuaient \u00e0 la question de la dualit\u00e9 linguistique sur les langues officielles. En effet, ils disaient que le commissaire aux langues officielles, par rapport au gouvernement, se rapportait au premier ministre. Par rapport \u00e0 son mandat, il se rapporte naturellement \u00e0 la Chambre des communes, comme il se doit. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755330\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Toutefois, de fa\u00e7on plus inqui\u00e9tante, il n'y a pas un mot sur le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"1426991\" href=\"/bills/39-2/S-3/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Official Languages Act (promotion of English and French)\">S-3</a>. Or son gouvernement l'a appuy\u00e9 alors qu'il \u00e9tait dans l'opposition. Cela portait sur les derniers amendements \u00e0 la Loi sur les langues officielles qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 apport\u00e9s en novembre 2005, alors que tout le monde c\u00e9l\u00e9brait.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755331\" data-originallang=\"fr\">O\u00f9 sont les plans qui doivent \u00e9maner de l'application du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"2331922\" href=\"/bills/39-2/S-3/\" title=\"An Act to amend the National Defence Act, the Criminal Code, the Sex Offender Information Registration Act and the Criminal Records Act\">S-3</a>? O\u00f9 est le r\u00e8glement qui doit l'encadrer? O\u00f9 sont les consultations qui doivent mener \u00e0 ce r\u00e8glement? O\u00f9 est le comit\u00e9 du cabinet sur les langues officielles, le comit\u00e9 ad hoc qui ne s'est pas r\u00e9uni, \u00e0 ce que je sache, depuis 18 mois? O\u00f9 en est la ministre sur ces dossiers?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755332\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Tout ce que je peux conclure, comme le commissaire aux langues officielles l'a fait lui-m\u00eame dans son premier rapport, c'est de faire des reproches au <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> et \u00e0 son gouvernement pour ne pas avoir appuy\u00e9 ces belles paroles par des actions concr\u00e8tes.</p>"
