Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Minister.
Minister, in May 2022, you said, “Fostering bilingualism is a personal priority for me.... I think we can make inroads on this problem by working hard to increase francophone immigration”.
Obviously, language is important to you. It's important to me also. That's why I'm concerned that there is no language requirement for the new citizens who will be created by Bill C-3.
Can you assure Canadians that people getting citizenship through this pathway will be able to speak either French or English?
