You are currently in New Brunswick, a bilingual province, whereas I stayed in Quebec, where Bill 101 is the law that applies. The truth of the matter is that Bill 101 applies before the courts and the same thing is true for universities, even today, 40 years later. Having practised in Montreal, I know that bilingualism in that city is much closer to that of New Brunswick. We can refer to the two statutes, in English, in French, etc.
Is there not a risk that this legislation will only result in lawyers from the provinces, like myself, being excluded, whereas lawyers from Montreal who, like you, have had the opportunity to regularly practise in both languages, would be accepted? On the other hand, if they are less intelligent than myself, I am the one who would be penalized. If there is no interpreter, that is what will happen. I could not sit on the Supreme Court, even if I am more intelligent than another person who is bilingual.
