We are the first government to recognize the decline of French in the country and that is precisely why we are moving forward with an ambitious bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7588702\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As an Acadian who lives in New Brunswick in an official language minority community, I know the importance of protecting and promoting French across the country, including in Quebec.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7588703\" data-originallang=\"fr\">However, we also have to ensure that we are there to protect official language minority communities. Like stakeholders from one end of the country to another, I look forward to the passage of the bill. 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-13</a> will really change things in the lives of Canadians.</p>",
