You say that the situation will be resolved, but according to the briefing note, there were three vacant positions and it was proposed that they be filled by three people who do not speak French. Therefore, your company made a deliberate choice, in spite of the warning from the government of Quebec, which asked that the next CEO understand French and Quebec. It seems that this went unheeded.
Do you think that, in the entire company's executive level, having a single person who knows Quebec and speaks French is enough?
