Here is how I see the problem. We are responsible for adopting legislation. They are about to table legislation regarding young offenders. Once the laws are adopted, whether you like or not, either you'll stay on the straight path or you'll go to jail. As for us, we adopted an Official Languages Act including part VII and sections 41, 42 and 43. All of this is Canadian law. Nevertheless, those who are in charge of defending our country do not even abide by its laws! This is why I am pessimistic. We send people abroad to impose law and order, but they are not even able to abide by Canada's Official Languages Act. In this sense, National Defence has the worst reputation of any institution in this land.
