He obviously had not read the budget, and I am wondering whether my colleague has read it either.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6644704\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Funding is provided in the budget for the French language and also for Quebec.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6644705\" data-originallang=\"fr\">With funding also allocated for French second-language programs in Quebec, which are for English-speaking Quebeckers, we will be able to strengthen the French fact in Quebec overall. That is also the goal of the modernization of the Official Languages Act.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6644706\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Several funding initiatives are proposed in the budget. I hope that my colleague will join us in celebrating this.</p>",

Visiblement, il n'avait pas lu le budget. Je pose encore la question \u00e0 mon coll\u00e8gue aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6644704\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Un financement est pr\u00e9vu pour le fran\u00e7ais, dans le budget, mais aussi pour le Qu\u00e9bec. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6644705\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Avec un financement \u00e9galement pr\u00e9vu pour le fran\u00e7ais langue seconde au Qu\u00e9bec, et destin\u00e9 aux Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois d'expression anglaise, nous allons donc pouvoir travailler \u00e0 renforcer le fait fran\u00e7ais au Qu\u00e9bec de fa\u00e7on g\u00e9n\u00e9rale. Nous allons aussi pouvoir le faire avec la modernisation de la Loi sur les langues officielles.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6644706\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Plusieurs fonds sont propos\u00e9s dans le budget. J'esp\u00e8re que mon coll\u00e8gue va c\u00e9l\u00e9brer cela avec nous.</p>"
