It's definitely not a model that should be followed, and we hope this trend won't continue. At least Mr. Paulson, who's perfectly bilingual, has just been appointed to the head of the RCMP.
This has to stop. It's definitely a bad example to set. I don't feel like fighting with Mr. Harper. It seems to me he should understand that himself. What message are we sending? That bilingualism is good in a formal way, but not so good in practice?
The same is true for those of us fighting for equality among communities. There is an official equality on paper, but, in reality, as the figures I cited show, we're losing ground, even New Brunswick. Imagine how that can be for our francophone brothers and sisters in the other provinces.
This is unacceptable. Let's hope this matter is over. I think it's over.
