Okay. I want to relay to you a practical circumstance that I'm aware of and just get your reaction to it.
The defence attorneys who I speak with and who practice in areas where there is a significant minority community—in that, I'm not talking about my home province—tell me that when a defence attorney meets his client for the first time, when that person is in the lock-up and possibly awaiting a bail hearing, and when that attorney advises him that he has the right to a trial in either official language, the most common response is that the client wants whatever it takes to get him out of there quick. They say, “I don't care whether it's English, French, or Greek, you're the person who goes to court every day, so you tell me.”
I expect that doesn't come as a surprise to you. But from where you sit, if you accept what I say as an accurate statement of the lay of the land and what's on the front lines, how do you react to that being the reality in Canada today?
