“I welcome my new colleague to the House. I want to ask her a question in French. Who will end up paying the 15%?”
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome my newly elected Liberal colleague. I could give her the opportunity to answer a question in French, since she says that she has learned French. There is no reason to be embarrassed about speaking English or French when in the House of Commons. I would simply like to know who, in the end, will pay the 15%? She can give a very simple answer.”
