Ms. Joly, I am very happy that you have joined us today, but I am going to correct certain statements you have made.
I was elected in 2006 and I have been fighting for official languages ever since. So I am asking for an apology to the Conservatives here who fight for the official languages on a daily basis, just as much as your Liberal colleagues and our New Democrat colleague.
You said earlier that the Conservatives did not give a darn about official languages. That is false, Madam Minister, and I want an apology now. I have been fighting like everyone else since 2006. Our committee is not political. We are fighting for the same rights, the rights of minorities all across the country.
If you have not had questions from Mr. Blaney, it is perhaps because we do not get proper answers from you, Ms. Joly. I will not stand for you saying such things, while the people around this table are fighting with your colleagues to achieve the same goal.
That is all I have to say to you.
