    The NDP, meanwhile, had filed a complaint with the Official Languages Commissioner about the appointment.

    You mean the same NDP that punished those MPs for voting their conscience in regards to the LGR?
    Welcome to the world of politics, where ethics is only a one-way street.

    Come on, we didn't complain when Jean Chretien couldn't speak English.

    Yeah, but in all fairness, he couldn't speak French either XD

    A little over the top reaction wise.


    At a Commons committee this week, Mr. Ferguson promised to be proficient in French within a year.


    As long as he follows through, no issue.

    Harper the man who is so concerned about law has no compunction to keep it and this move proves it. And those that support this move are as immoral IMHO.

    He's breaking the law?

    That's my question, Ruez.

    If it's against the law, the Libs and NDP have a point.
    If not, they should just shut up.

    He accused the government of “unilaterally” and “in our view, illegally” changing the rules in mid-stream. He said the position is a bilingual one, a requirement stipulated in the job description.

    Unsure if this would make it an actual law though.


    I'm sure much time and lawyer fees will sort it all out.

    He must be unfit for the job just because he can't speak french. :roll:

    I'm curious to see a citation of the law he is breaking.

    I don't know what the big deal is about. Just about everyone agrees Ferguson is the clear front runner for this spot and he has committed to improving his French language skills. Nothing more than political grandstanding if you ask me.

    Can't he just use a translator?
