Kip Powick Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 This is partial text of an article in a newspaper and was echoed on National News today.............. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OTTAWA—The Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages has received 14 complaints related to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s choice of English or French when answering questions at recent town hall meetings. Spokesman Nelson Kalil said Thursday that 11 complaints stem from an event on Tuesday in Sherbrooke, Que., where Trudeau angered some anglophones by insisting on answering English questions in French. The others are related to a previous town hall gathering in Peterborough, Ont., where Trudeau responded in English to a French question. On Wednesday he said that on reflection he maybe should have answered partly in English and partly in French at the Sherbrooke event. Kalil said it could take three to six months for the office to investigate the complaints. Because the office cannot investigate individuals, the probe will focus on whether the Privy Council Office violated the Official Languages Act in its role of supporting the prime minister. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk about feathering your own nest !!! This incident was on TV. Trudeau fessed up and stated he should have answered in English ...it stands to reason, asked a question in French....he can answer in French.....ask a question in English... he should answer in English. Seeing this is all on video.....why would it take 3 - 6 months to do an "investigation". What a crock!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo32a Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 The woman asked a question in English because she doesn't speak French. Although Trudeau lite never answered the question she asked, she wouldn't know whether he did or not. That's just basically rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
