I won't examine the conscience of the City of Ottawa, but it should not be forgotten that we're in Ottawa, a bilingual city on paper, but not in actual fact. When our young people leave here, it's all well and good to teach them French, but they're going to be served in English. I challenge you to find a French film in Ottawa. You have to go to Gatineau.
Don't forget that we have newcomers who barely have the resources to clothe and feed themselves. I would be surprised if they spent $20 to go see a movie, or $40 to go see a show. I think the money is used to meet essential needs.
Don't forget we're in Ottawa. Even though I speak French to the person who has to serve me, the answer I get is, “I don't speak French.”
