I would agree that some, but very few, need be bilingual.

I would also agree that learning a second language is a skill but such
persons have been called
linguists and their job was to translate not to command! Not  by virtue
of being able to say a
word in two languages. No sir!

We in contrast have somehow legislated translators into the chain of
command and by doing so
almost exclusively chosen the translators from the French who were the
only group in our society
with a pre existing requirement to understand and operate in English.

The net result is that three quarters of our people are not properly
represented in their own
government.

The truth is that the politicians knew full well that such legislation
would lead to the ethnic
cleansing of all English from all Federal service command structures:
Customs, Taxation, Postal,
Army, Navy, Airforce, Coast guard, RCMP, Parks, Communications, Civil
Service, External affairs.

Truth is is that Canada is no longer an English Country.
