I am right behind Greg in this one. We need to stop pandering to Quebec (I know how I would vote in a referendum), and concentrate on real skills for the future, at least in the private sector. I know, you need to be bilingual if you want a job as a federal parasite, but if you can use the time more effectively learning somthing else, why not. Try math, or science. Heck, I interviewed 6 people this year for tech openings, and all hires were non-canadian. ( they had better english and science skills, and an actual work-ethic) I also spent 12 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, and saw many times, some ‘officer’ who was over-promoted simply because he was bi-lingual. I think learning other languages is great, (I’m nominally tri-lingual) I just think that this French thing is being over-hyped ( hey, the entire government has a vested interest). The few phrases of Mandrin I have learned have proven far more useful than any of the french I have forgotten.
