Mr. Chair, I would like to ask Mr. Newman a question.
Ms. Ashton said that there may be a problem with access to courts in French in Manitoba. Bilingualism of judges is not mandatory. What is important is that Franco-Manitobans have access to justice in French. So wouldn't requiring judges to be bilingual in order to apply be limiting?
To address the needs Ms. Ashton mentioned, it is important to ensure that Franco-Manitobans have access to justice in French.
