Madam Chair, my colleague is implying that he recognizes that French is in decline, but in his presentation he said the opposite. He said that most immigrants integrate in French, which is not the case at all. Language transfer of allophones to French is 10 times lower than transfer to English, all things being relative. I am shocked by what the hon. member is saying.
The last time we introduced the bill on applying Bill 101 to federal institutions, he reacted strongly by saying that anglophones in Quebec had fewer rights than everyone else.
Did he mean that anglophones in Quebec should have the right to speak English only and disregard French, the common language?
