It's the first time we've heard something about this.
Many of the people the committee hears from are francophones in the same boat. We don't often hear from anglophones in Quebec who are dealing with the same thing as francophones outside Quebec. Today is the first time I am hearing about this, so I thank you for sharing that with us.
You said something else quite compelling. You said that, even if every judge were bilingual, it would not matter because the court administration system supporting the judge was not necessarily bilingual. We do, indeed, want every judge to be bilingual; everyone is in favour of virtue, after all. It is not all that helpful, however, to have a bilingual judge when the entire court administration system surrounding the judge is not bilingual. Everyone involved in the court administration system would need to become functionally bilingual for the approach to work.
Does that make sense to you?
