Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has been chastised by the courts for appointing a unilingual anglophone lieutenant governor in New Brunswick. Not only is that unconstitutional, but it also shows a serious lack of judgment. There is only one bilingual province in Canada, and the PM finds a way to appoint a unilingual anglophone.
We are reminded that he also appointed a governor general who did not speak French in an officially bilingual Canada.
When will the Prime Minister stop treating proficiency in French as a second-rate skill and francophones as second-class citizens?
