Marc Miller

Liberal on Foreign Affairs

Replying to Jason Groleau (Conservative)
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has appointed a personal friend of his to serve as Canada’s ambassador to Washington. Mark Wiseman is not a wise man. He opposes supply management and does not respect the French language. In fact, he is the founder of the Century Initiative, which aims to bring millions of immigrants to Quebec to diminish the demographic weight of French. How could the Prime Minister appoint a buddy who wants to extinguish the French language and who opposes supply management as ambassador to the United States?”

Mr. Speaker, as the Prime Minister has clearly said, the embassy’s invitation should have been sent out in French. It is unacceptable that this was not done. Those responsible should have known better.
