There is no doubt that the Société de l'Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick, which I also represent in some way, deplored the fact that the Premier of New Brunswick did not deign to be accompanied by someone who could have delivered his messages in French for the French-speaking population. However, the demand was there. On the other hand, Dr. Jennifer Russell, New Brunswick's Chief Medical Officer of Health, was so competent that it made up for it.
People did notice that the premier did not consider it important to address his population in French. He did it in English, and there were some small translations after a while.
