Absolutely. That was the point I was getting to. It's not simply one principle that we apply, as important as that one constitutional principle is. We also have to see it in the context of the employees' rights as well.
I can tell you that one of the things I've been motivated by, or guided by, was a report that came out in Manitoba. Manitoba went through some very bitter struggles on the language issue--very bitter struggles. One report that I especially rely on--and I know it's not particularly relevant, because the constitutional context is a little bit different--is Judge Chartier's report from Manitoba entitled, “Above All, Common Sense”. Our government, back in 1999 or 1998, implemented that Chartier report in Manitoba in order to ensure, as much as possible, that individuals who wanted language services in a particular language received those services. We rationalized where individuals were receiving that benefit. Quite frankly, it has worked quite well.
Has everyone been happy? No, not everyone has been happy, but by and large, the francophone community in Manitoba I think has benefited from the implementation of that Chartier report. That Chartier report continues to be implemented by the succeeding government--the New Democrats--that came into power after our government.
