Ms. MacLeod, you understand that my question is not about both official languages; it is about French. It is about making francophones feel comfortable, not like renegades, if they use French when they draft documents for their supervisors.
We know that the machinery of government is far more anglophone than it is francophone, so there may be undue pressure on francophone employees. If one of them hopes one day to get a promotion but is seen as someone who uses French more often or too often, his career may be put on ice for a very long time. It may also be the case that employees feel uncomfortable using their own language because they do not feel at home in this department.
You were referring to Francophonie Day. My background is in education. I taught francophones in both Saskatchewan and in Ontario. We also used to do a lot of language promotion, but we did it on a regular basis so young people could be proud of speaking French. You have one francophone pride day per year and you think that is how you are going to solve your problems.
