""That this House—

(a) affirms that the Québécois form a nation;

(b) acknowledges that self-determination is protected under the Charter of the United Nations and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the latter stating that '[a]ll peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development';

(c) notes that Canada is a state party to the aforementioned treaties;

(d) believes that the right to self-determination lies solely with the Québécois;

(g) regrets that the provision of services for Official Language Minorities is often undervalued across Canada;

(h) regrets that the provision of services for people who speak Indigenous languages and other regional languages like Gàidhlig and Deitsch is often nonexistent across Canada; and
