This is due to the fact that people from many different countries come
to Canada and we should all do our best to make sure that there is as
little need as possible for them to have to ever learn either of the
two official languages in Canada.  I am certain that if we were to ask
for English or French versions of everything in their countries, they
would be only too happy to oblige as we are for them.
