This is not only for French-speaking people. We have an issue of a cultural understanding or cultural sensitivity. When you speak more than one language, when you have a second language, you also understand the body—the way people present themselves and the cultural interpretation of things—and you tend not to be so rigid in the way you analyze a case, if you know what I mean. That way, when we have people who speak two languages decide a case, I think it implies the decision is going to be at least with respect and understanding.
