Shouldn't deputy ministers be compelled to be bilingual? Shouldn't bilingualism be made a qualification in their case? They could be told that they must be bilingual if they want to be deputy ministers.
If you aren't comfortable answering my question, don't answer it. I think the answer is yes. It seems to me the example has to be set from above. As far as possible, it should include ministers. I think that, if the minister responsible for coordination in a department comes and testifies before us, but is unable to say “hello” or “bonjour”, there's a problem.
