I would agree. I think this is a case where, if this right is to be guaranteed, it should be at the beginning of the process rather than something that somebody has to keep on asking for at every step. I think it's unfortunate that the way it is.... I think that once you've said you want to have your trial in French, or in Quebec in English, it ought to be automatic that the process kicks in, rather than at every stage....
