I have a bias because of...or you'd think I'd have a bias because I am not fully bilingual. My kids are. One of my daughters is studying in France right now.
We have five board members in Quebec. We're very active in Quebec. I lead the organization and we function very well in that regard.
Would it be preferable? I guess I would say yes. Is it a requirement? I don't know. We work with so many people in a collaborative way in Quebec who give us support. I think they could find a way to do it.
I guess I'm less inclined, even though my gut tells me yes, people would like it to be so. I'm not sure I would insist that it has to be so, because this is a unique field. There are not a lot of people involved in it. I think it's important to get the right person.
If the right person didn't happen to be bilingual—a unilingual francophone or a unilingual anglophone—but did happen to be the right person and could get that right team together and work with the people the right way, for me that would dominate everything. You just don't have a lot of talent in this field that could provide the leadership that I think all of us are looking for.
