I will therefore be sharing my time with the member for Montmagny\u2014L'Islet\u2014Kamouraska\u2014Rivi\u00e8re-du-Loup. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772903\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As I rise in the House today, I cannot help but feel disappointed. All that, for this? The Liberals tabled a white paper in February 2021 that clearly stated in black and white that the Treasury Board was to become the central agency responsible for implementing the Official Languages Act, as I pointed out in my question earlier. A few months later, in June 2021, the official languages minister at the time, currently the <a data-HoCid=\"278918\" href=\"/politicians/melanie-joly/\" title=\"M\u00e9lanie Joly\">Minister of Foreign Affairs</a>, introduced Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11420727\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-32/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Official Languages Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-32</a>. An election was called two months later. What a coincidence. A lot of time was wasted, and we had to start over at square one.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772904\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The new <a data-HoCid=\"278926\" href=\"/politicians/ginette-petitpas-taylor/\" title=\"Ginette Petitpas Taylor\">Minister of Official Languages</a> introduced her 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>, in March 2022. We were told that the bill solved all the problems and that it had to be passed as quickly as possible. The Liberals begged the opposition parties to co-operate and expedite the bill. It was referred to the Standing Committee on Official Languages, where we heard from witnesses so we could do our work effectively. All of a sudden, the Liberals moved a motion to cut off debate. We had to move so quickly that we wasted eight meetings discussing this problem that had been caused by the Liberals at committee. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772905\" data-originallang=\"fr\">They are talking out of both sides of their mouths. They want us to move quickly, but they muzzled us for eight meetings. The opposition parties worked together to take the time needed. We reached out to the Liberals several times to try to get them to listen to reason. They wanted four meetings and we wanted twelve, so we split the difference and decided on eight. I think that is a good compromise. It shows that the opposition parties were acting in good faith. As for the Liberals, that is another story.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772906\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Conservative Party takes bilingualism in Canada very seriously. We worked hard in committee, as I mentioned. We took the time to listen to stakeholders across the country. We worked to respond to their concerns. I am talking about stakeholders like the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des communaut\u00e9s francophone et acadienne du Canada, the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration nationale des conseils scolaires francophones, the Commissioner of Official Languages and many others. These people live with the reality of being a linguistic minority every day. The Liberals would have everyone living in these official language minority communities, particularly in New Brunswick, believe that they are responding to their demands.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772907\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I want to tell everyone living in those official language minority communities\u2014whether it is in New Brunswick, the Northwest Territories or British Columbia\u2014not to worry, because the Conservative Party of Canada is there for them and always will be.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772908\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In committee, we received a pile of amendments from all parties. About 10 amendments were tabled by the NDP; the Bloc proposed over 80, and we tabled about 60.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772909\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It comes as no surprise that the Liberals were ready. They had written a white paper, then introduced Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11420727\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-32/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Official Languages Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-32</a>, followed by 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>. They must have refined their bill, at least I hope so. However, they filed about 50 amendments, which is pretty interesting. In addition to the 50 amendments, it was clear that there was some dissension within the Liberal caucus. Among those 50 amendments, there were duplicates, which means that two Liberal members had tabled the same amendments. This goes to show how much time they are wasting. Are they even talking within their party? Are they talking to the anglophone members from Quebec? It is a mess. Then they want us to move quickly. They say this issue is so important. This is just one example of Liberal incompetence and inconsistency. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772910\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Again this week in the House, the Liberals proposed amendments that could and should have been put forward in committee\u2014but no, they are holding up the process. They claim that it needs to move quickly, but they are holding up the process. Worse, to hear the Liberals talk about official languages, the decline of the French language and the need to protect both official languages, it all seems to be so important to them. However, there was a vote at report stage yesterday, and the <a data-HoCid=\"263835\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">Deputy Prime Minister</a>, whom we have been looking for in all the committees, and even in the House of Commons, did not even vote, even though we have a virtual application to do just that. The <a data-HoCid=\"245291\" href=\"/politicians/david-lametti/\" title=\"David Lametti\">Minister of Justice</a>, who is a Quebecker and is affected by this legislation, did not even vote. Worse yet, the <a data-HoCid=\"278929\" href=\"/politicians/pablo-rodriguez/\" title=\"Pablo Rodriguez\">Minister of Canadian Heritage</a> and Quebec lieutenant, who is the main party involved and has responsibilities under this bill, did not even vote. Official languages and the decline of the French language are so very important to them\u2014we had another clear demonstration of that yesterday.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772911\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This government's lack of interest and disengagement is obvious again today. What day is it? It is Friday, the day when members have the least amount of time to speak. Who is in charge of the agenda? The Liberals are. Who chose to do this on a Friday? The Liberals did. What does that mean? It means that they do not want to hear about this, that they want to sweep it under the rug. That is obvious, because there is bickering within the Liberal caucus. This is just more smoke and mirrors, to create the illusion that the Liberals care about official languages.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772912\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Let us talk about the stakeholders. We met several, but I want to talk about two in particular. The F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des communaut\u00e9s francophones et acadienne du Canada, or FCFA, which represents 2.8 million French-speaking Canadians outside Quebec, was calling for six amendments. It was not a huge or unreasonable request. How many of those amendments were fully adopted? Not one was adopted. Good job, Liberals. The Conservative Party agrees with those recommendations and brought forward amendments along those lines. Unfortunately, the NDP-Liberal coalition ignored the FCFA. It did the same thing to the Commissioner of Official Languages. The Liberals and the NDP did not listen.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772913\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> The bill moved a step forward, but at a snail's pace. It is not that important, then. It was just one step forward. I think I would walk a long, long way for our official languages, but this bill, sadly, goes no farther than a single step. As parliamentarians, this was our chance to take concrete action to reverse the very real decline of French in Canada, and even in Quebec. It is deplorable that official language minority community stakeholders are not being listened to and get nothing but empty words.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772914\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I am concerned about the future of Canada as a country bilingual in English and French. We must remember that we have a Governor General who is bilingual but does not speak French. When we talk about bilingualism in Canada, we are referring to the two official languages, the two founding languages.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772915\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I was born a francophone in Canada, and my children speak French. I hope that my grandchildren will be able to speak French, here, in Canada. I am proud to be Canadian. I am proud to be a Quebecker. I am proud to represent the people of Portneuf\u2014Jacques\u2011Cartier. I will fight tooth and nail for francophones in Quebec and across Canada. My ancestors fought that fight and I will continue fighting it. I am proud of our bilingual Canada, and I am not alone: More than 80% of Canadians value their bilingualism.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772916\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I want to remind members of one thing. The Official Languages Act was introduced in 1969 and modernized in 1988. Who did that? The Conservatives. The Harper government was the first to recognize the Quebec nation in a united Canada. He understood Quebec and its unique linguistic reality, and he recognized that it was important for the country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772917\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Quebec has the largest pool of francophones in North America, and it must have the tools it needs to preserve its language and culture, which, by extension, will help francophone communities across Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772918\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Our leader, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"291215\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">Carleton</a> also values the French language. He is educating his children in French and he speaks both official languages here in the House. He understands the challenges and is making an effort to protect and promote both of Canada's official languages.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772919\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In closing, I would again like to reassure the official language minority communities. Unlike the Liberals, we have heard them very clearly and we will call for a single central agency and an enumeration of rights holders. We heard them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772920\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is truly important to the Conservative Party of Canada that Canada remain an English-French bilingual country, and it will focus on reversing the decline of French and protecting both official languages.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7772902\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie tous mes coll\u00e8gues de leur ouverture. Je vais donc partager mon temps de parole avec le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de Montmagny\u2014L'Islet\u2014Kamouraska\u2014Rivi\u00e8re-du-Loup.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772903\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Permettez-moi d'exprimer le sentiment que je ressens en me levant \u00e0 la Chambre aujourd'hui: tout \u00e7a pour \u00e7a, c'est d\u00e9cevant. Les lib\u00e9raux ont d\u00e9pos\u00e9 un livre blanc, en f\u00e9vrier 2021, dans lequel il \u00e9tait \u00e9crit, noir sur blanc, que le Conseil du Tr\u00e9sor, comme je l'ai dit dans ma question tout \u00e0 l'heure, devait devenir l'agence centrale responsable de la mise en \u0153uvre de la Loi sur les langues officielles. Quelques mois plus tard, en juin 2021, la ministre des Langues officielles de l'\u00e9poque, la <a data-HoCid=\"278918\" href=\"/politicians/melanie-joly/\" title=\"M\u00e9lanie Joly\">ministre des Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res</a>, a d\u00e9pos\u00e9 le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11420727\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-32/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Official Languages Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts\">C\u201132</a>. Deux mois plus tard, une \u00e9lection a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9clench\u00e9e. Quel hasard! Nous avons perdu du temps et nous sommes revenus \u00e0 la case d\u00e9part.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772904\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La nouvelle <a data-HoCid=\"278926\" href=\"/politicians/ginette-petitpas-taylor/\" title=\"Ginette Petitpas Taylor\">ministre des Langues officielles</a> a d\u00e9pos\u00e9 son 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> en mars 2022. On s'est fait alors dire que le projet de loi r\u00e9glait tous les probl\u00e8mes et qu'il fallait l'adopter le plus rapidement possible. Les partis de l'opposition se sont fait supplier de collaborer et d'acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer l'adoption du projet de loi. Celui-ci a \u00e9t\u00e9 renvoy\u00e9 au Comit\u00e9 permanent des langues officielles, o\u00f9 nous avons entendu des t\u00e9moins pour bien effectuer notre travail. Tout d'un coup, une motion des lib\u00e9raux a \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e pour limiter le d\u00e9bat. Il a fallu aller tellement vite que nous avons perdu huit s\u00e9ances \u00e0 discuter pour d\u00e9nouer ce probl\u00e8me qui avait \u00e9t\u00e9 amen\u00e9 en comit\u00e9 par les lib\u00e9raux. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772905\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ils parlent des deux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de la bouche. Ils veulent qu'on aille vite, mais ils nous musellent pendant huit s\u00e9ances. Les partis de l'opposition ont travaill\u00e9 ensemble pour prendre le temps n\u00e9cessaire. Nous avons tendu la main aux lib\u00e9raux \u00e0 plusieurs reprises pour qu'ils entendent raison. Ils voulaient quatre s\u00e9ances, nous en voulions douze, alors nous avons tranch\u00e9 la poire en deux: huit s\u00e9ances. Je pense que c'est un bon compromis. Cela a d\u00e9montr\u00e9 que les partis de l'opposition \u00e9taient de bonne foi. Quant aux lib\u00e9raux, c'est une autre question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772906\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le Parti conservateur prend le bilinguisme au Canada tr\u00e8s au s\u00e9rieux. Nous avons effectu\u00e9 un travail rigoureux en comit\u00e9, comme je le mentionnais. Nous avons pris le temps d'\u00e9couter les intervenants d'un bout \u00e0 l'autre du pays. Nous avons travaill\u00e9 pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 leurs inqui\u00e9tudes. Je parle d'intervenants comme la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des communaut\u00e9s francophone et acadienne du Canada, la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration nationale des conseils scolaires francophones, le commissaire aux langues officielles, et bien d'autres. Ces gens vivent la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 d'une minorit\u00e9 linguistique au quotidien. Les lib\u00e9raux tentent de faire croire \u00e0 tous ces gens qui vivent dans ces communaut\u00e9s de langue officielle en situation minoritaire, notamment au Nouveau\u2011Brunswick, qu'ils r\u00e9pondent \u00e0 leurs requ\u00eates.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772907\" data-originallang=\"fr\">\u00c0 tous ces gens qui vivent dans ces communaut\u00e9s de langue officielle en situation minoritaire, que ce soit au Nouveau\u2011Brunswick, aux Territoires du Nord\u2011Ouest ou en Colombie\u2011Britannique, je dis de ne pas s'inqui\u00e9ter, car le Parti conservateur du Canada est l\u00e0 pour eux et le sera toujours.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772908\" data-originallang=\"fr\">En comit\u00e9, nous avons re\u00e7u une liasse d'amendements de la part de l'ensemble des partis. Une dizaine d'amendements ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9pos\u00e9s par le NPD, le Bloc en a propos\u00e9 plus de 80, et nous en avons d\u00e9pos\u00e9 une soixantaine.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772909\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Surprise: les lib\u00e9raux \u00e9taient pr\u00eats. Ils avaient \u00e9crit un livre blanc, puis d\u00e9pos\u00e9 le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11420727\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-32/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Official Languages Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts\">C\u201132</a>, suivi du 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>. Ils devaient avoir raffin\u00e9 leur projet de loi, du moins je l'esp\u00e8re. Ils ont pourtant d\u00e9pos\u00e9 une cinquantaine d'amendements, ce qui est assez particulier. En plus des 50 amendements, on a pu voir qu'il y avait de la zizanie \u00e0 l'int\u00e9rieur de ce caucus lib\u00e9ral. Parmi ces 50 amendements, il y avait des doublons, ce qui veut dire que deux d\u00e9put\u00e9s lib\u00e9raux avaient d\u00e9pos\u00e9 les m\u00eames amendements. Cela nous montre \u00e0 quel point ils perdent leur temps. Se parlent-ils, \u00e0 l'int\u00e9rieur de leur parti? Parlent-ils aux d\u00e9put\u00e9s anglophones du Qu\u00e9bec? C'est la zizanie. Ensuite, ils veulent que nous allions vite. Ils disent que le sujet est tellement important. Ce n'est qu'un exemple de l'incomp\u00e9tence et de l'incoh\u00e9rence lib\u00e9rales. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772910\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Encore cette semaine, \u00e0 la Chambre, les lib\u00e9raux proposaient des amendements qui auraient pu et auraient d\u00fb \u00eatre d\u00e9pos\u00e9s en comit\u00e9. Or non, ils retardent le processus. Ils pr\u00e9tendent que cela doit aller vite, mais ils retardent le processus. Pire, \u00e0 entendre les lib\u00e9raux parler des langues officielles, du d\u00e9clin du fran\u00e7ais et de la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de prot\u00e9ger les deux langues officielles, cela semble tellement important. Pourtant, il y avait hier un vote \u00e0 l'\u00e9tape du rapport et la <a data-HoCid=\"263835\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">vice-premi\u00e8re ministre</a>, qu'on cherche dans tous les comit\u00e9s, et m\u00eame \u00e0 la Chambre des communes, n'a m\u00eame pas vot\u00e9, alors que nous avons une application virtuelle. Le <a data-HoCid=\"245291\" href=\"/politicians/david-lametti/\" title=\"David Lametti\">ministre de la Justice</a>, qui est un Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois et qui est concern\u00e9 par cette loi, n'a m\u00eame pas vot\u00e9. Pire encore, le <a data-HoCid=\"278929\" href=\"/politicians/pablo-rodriguez/\" title=\"Pablo Rodriguez\">ministre de Patrimoine canadien</a> et lieutenant du Qu\u00e9bec, qui est le principal int\u00e9ress\u00e9 et qui a des responsabilit\u00e9s dans ce projet de loi, n'a m\u00eame pas vot\u00e9. C'est tellement important pour eux, les langues officielles et le d\u00e9clin du fran\u00e7ais: nous en avons encore eu la d\u00e9monstration hier. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772911\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le manque d'int\u00e9r\u00eat et de volont\u00e9 de ce gouvernement est encore une fois visible aujourd'hui. Quel jour sommes-nous? Nous sommes vendredi. Le vendredi est la journ\u00e9e o\u00f9 les d\u00e9put\u00e9s ont le moins de temps de parole. Qui est responsable de l'ordre du jour? Ce sont les lib\u00e9raux. Qui a choisi de faire cela un vendredi? Ce sont les lib\u00e9raux. Qu'est-ce que cela veut dire? Cela veut dire qu'ils ne veulent pas en entendre parler, qu'ils veulent passer cela sous le tapis. C'est certain parce que, dans le caucus lib\u00e9ral, on se chicane. C'est encore une fois de la poudre aux yeux, une illusion que les langues officielles sont importantes pour les lib\u00e9raux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772912\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Parlons des intervenants. Nous en avons rencontr\u00e9 plusieurs. Je veux parler de deux d'entre eux. La F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des communaut\u00e9s francophones et acadienne du Canada, ou FCFA, qui repr\u00e9sente 2,8 millions de Canadiens et de Canadiennes d'expression fran\u00e7aise hors Qu\u00e9bec, r\u00e9clamait six modifications. Ce n'est pas \u00e9norme ni abusif. Or, combien de ces modifications ont \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9es dans leur enti\u00e8ret\u00e9? Aucune n'a \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9e; quel beau travail des lib\u00e9raux. Le Parti conservateur est d'accord sur ces recommandations et a d\u00e9pos\u00e9 des amendements en ce sens. Malheureusement, la coalition NPD\u2011lib\u00e9rale a brim\u00e9 la FCFA. Le m\u00eame traitement a \u00e9t\u00e9 accord\u00e9 au commissaire aux langues officielles. Les lib\u00e9raux et le NPD ont fait la sourde oreille.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772913\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Le projet de loi franchit un pas. Or, on avance \u00e0 pas de tortue. Ce n'est pas si important. On n'avance que d'un pas. Il me semble que j'irais faire une longue marche pour les langues officielles, mais ce projet de loi ne franchit malheureusement qu'un pas. Comme parlementaires, c'\u00e9tait notre chance de poser des gestes concrets pour contrer le d\u00e9clin du fran\u00e7ais qui est bien r\u00e9el au Canada, m\u00eame au Qu\u00e9bec. Il est inacceptable que les intervenants des communaut\u00e9s de langue officielle en situation minoritaire ne m\u00e9ritent qu'une sourde oreille et de belles paroles.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772914\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je suis pr\u00e9occup\u00e9 par rapport \u00e0 l\u2019avenir d\u2019un Canada bilingue anglais-fran\u00e7ais. Il faut se rappeler que nous avons une gouverneure g\u00e9n\u00e9rale bilingue, mais qui ne parle pas fran\u00e7ais. Quand on parle de bilinguisme au Canada, ce sont les deux langues officielles et les deux langues fondatrices.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772915\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je suis n\u00e9 au Canada en tant que francophone, mes enfants parlent fran\u00e7ais. J\u2019esp\u00e8re que mes petits-enfants vont pouvoir parler fran\u00e7ais, ici, au Canada. Je suis fier d'\u00eatre Canadien. Je suis fier d'\u00eatre Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois. Je suis fier de repr\u00e9senter les gens de Portneuf\u2014Jacques\u2011Cartier. Je vais me battre \u00e0 la vie et \u00e0 la mort pour les francophones au Qu\u00e9bec et partout au Canada. Mes anc\u00eatres se sont battus et je vais continuer le combat. Je suis fier de notre Canada bilingue et je ne suis pas le seul: plus de 80 % des Canadiens tiennent \u00e0 leur bilinguisme.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772916\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je vais rappeler ceci. La Loi sur les langues officielles a \u00e9t\u00e9 introduite en 1969 et a \u00e9t\u00e9 modernis\u00e9e en 1988. Qui l'a fait? Ce sont les conservateurs. Le gouvernement Harper est le premier \u00e0 avoir reconnu la nation qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise dans un Canada uni. Il comprenait le Qu\u00e9bec et sa sp\u00e9cificit\u00e9 linguistique, et il a reconnu que c'\u00e9tait important pour le pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772917\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le Qu\u00e9bec est le plus grand bassin de francophones en Am\u00e9rique du Nord et il faut lui donner les outils n\u00e9cessaires pour pr\u00e9server sa langue et sa culture ce qui, par le fait m\u00eame, aidera les communaut\u00e9s francophones partout au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772918\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Notre chef, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"291215\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">Carleton</a>, accorde lui aussi une place importante \u00e0 la langue fran\u00e7aise. Il \u00e9duque ses enfants en fran\u00e7ais et s\u2019exprime dans les deux langues officielles ici \u00e0 la Chambre. Il comprend les enjeux et s\u2019efforce de prot\u00e9ger et de promouvoir les deux langues officielles au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7772919\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pour conclure, j\u2019aimerais rassurer encore une fois les communaut\u00e9s de langue officielle en situation minoritaire.
