The debate on French-language titles is quite intense. In France, for example, they say "Madame le ministre", and we in Canada say "Madame la ministre". One of the rules of the French language that I learned is that, if you employ the plural, you use the masculine.
That is an example of the importance of legal terminology and of explanations of the differences between the English and French versions of a bill.
I am going to ask Ms. Tremblay, my office's general counsel, to provide a viewpoint on the feminization of titles.
