I want to remind him of the facts.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6359349\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The party that he belongs to made cuts to CBC/Radio-Canada. It made cuts to francophone communities. It took minority communities that wanted to defend their rights to court. The Conservatives said that there was too much French during their leadership race. Still today, they are refusing to appoint bilingual judges to the Supreme Court. That is the party that my colleague represents, and we will not take any lessons from them.</p>",

Je vais lui rappeler certains faits.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6359349\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le parti auquel il appartient a fait des coupes dans Radio-Canada. Il a fait des coupes dans les communaut\u00e9s francophones. Il a tra\u00een\u00e9 devant les tribunaux les communaut\u00e9s minoritaires qui voulaient d\u00e9fendre leurs droits. Les conservateurs disaient qu'il y avait trop de fran\u00e7ais durant leur course \u00e0 la chefferie. Encore aujourd'hui, ils refusent de nommer des juges bilingues \u00e0 la Cour supr\u00eame. C'est ce parti que mon coll\u00e8gue repr\u00e9sente et nous n'avons aucune le\u00e7on \u00e0 recevoir d'eux.</p>"
