But if you are in a country with an official languages policy, which is spending $1 billion—you have highly paid translators on your payroll—just to say that we have two official languages, it seems to me that it is perfectly normal for the most senior officials or individuals representing the government and the country to be able to understand both languages equally well. That is my view.
I am very disappointed to see that the Minister, who should be defending the two languages, does not agree with that principle.
