You mentioned something else, about the bill. The Official Languages Act initially provided that judges must be able to speak English or French, or both, depending on the language chosen for the proceeding. However, an exception is made for Supreme Court justices. The bill now proposes that this exception be repealed.
In 1988, I believe, when the measure came into force, it was felt that the legal community should be given a chance to adjust and to establish more French-language common law schools, in particular.
Do you think we now have enough French-speaking lawyers who could be appointed Supreme Court justices, so there would be enough francophone judges?
