Let’s not blur the issue.
This is not about whether AI can translate a message. It is about whether a leader of a federally regulated national institution can personally demonstrate respect in both official languages when it matters most. Technology can replicate words. It cannot replace leadership.
No one is saying that Canadians who do not speak French are “out.” That is a false frame. The obligation here is not on 80 percent of Canadians. It is on one individual who is paid at the very highest level to lead a company subject to federal law. That distinction matters.
You suggest this is about exclusion. The reality in this country has long been the opposite. Francophones have consistently adapted to English across Canada. In cabinet, francophone ministers have routinely operated in English. The reverse is far less common. I cannot recall many unilingual anglophone ministers making the effort to present in French, yet they were very much “in.”
And with respect, you served at the highest levels of government, including as interim leader of the official opposition. You were very much “in” without speaking French. So the idea that bilingualism is being used today as a gatekeeping tool simply does not hold.
What is divisive is pretending that the legal and constitutional framework of this country is optional. Canada chose two official languages. That comes with responsibilities, especially for those at the top of national institutions.
On minority language communities, let’s be honest there as well. Francophones outside Quebec have fought for decades for basic services, education, and recognition. The support they receive has often required court battles. To suggest there is some imbalance in favour of French ignores that history entirely.
This is not about identity politics. It is about credibility.
If you lead a company governed by the Official Languages Act, live in Quebec for 20 years, publicly commit to learning French, and still cannot deliver a few sentences in a moment of national tragedy, that is not about inclusion or exclusion. It is about failing to meet a clear and reasonable expectation of leadership.

Prime example- this is not about ensuring french speaking Canadians can hear a message in French ( AI can fix that btw ). It’s about “respect” for the language. Huh? If you don’t speak french you don’t respect the language or official bilingualism??Hogwash. This is about who is in and who is out. 80% of Canadians are out according to this thinking.
