In this pandemic situation, I find it fascinating that the chief medical officers of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick speak in both official languages. I'm also thinking of Mr. Kenney, the premier of Alberta. He has certain skills, including the ability to speak fluent French. However, these people come and go. They're exceptions in the history of these provinces.
What do you think about the fact that, during a pandemic, public health authorities are given this obligation, or “burden”— since it's often a burden—to provide guidelines?
The emergency situation calls for action. There may not be enough time to get everything translated.
In your opinion, how can we make people understand that everyone needs information in both official languages at the provincial level?
