The population of the village I live in is 1,000. My riding consists of 58 municipalities, three-quarters of which have fewer than about 500 people. Staff members at the post offices in these villages are not bilingual. You might well say that I live in the most francophone riding in Canada and that it's only to be expected that employees in this area don't necessarily have to be bilingual.
And yet, if we were to adopt amendment BQ-9, there would have to be bilingual staff at every post office in Canada, even if demand did not justify it. Is that what you're telling me, Mr. Quell?
