Acadian group launches legal challenge over unilingual lieutenant-governor
Lt.-Gov. Brenda Murphy says she's determined to improve her French-language skills
· CBC News · Posted: Dec 23, 2019 5:28 PM AT
The office of Lt.-Gov. Brenda Murphy confirmed days after her appointment that she is learning to speak French. (Government of New Brunswick)
The New Brunswick Acadian Society has filed an application with
the Court of Queen's Bench to challenge the recent appointment of
Lt.-Gov. Brenda Murphy, who speaks only English.
"We want the
federal government to ensure that on its list of federal appointments
that require proficiency in both official languages, that'
lieutenant-governor of New Brunswick' be on that list," said Ali
Chiasson, the executive director of the New Brunswick Acadian Society.
New Brunswick is the only province that has two official languages, French and English.
Ali Chiasson, the executive director of the New Brunswick
Acadian Society, said the organization wants the position of
lieutenant-governor to have a bilingual representative. (Radio-Canada)
Only 11 positions within the federal government must have
a bilingual representative, according to the Language Skills Act.
Chiasson said the application is calling for the position of
lieutenant-governor of New Brunswick be the 12th.
The
application also calls for the cancellation of Murphy's appointment, but
in an interview with CBC News, Chiasson said that isn't the goal.
"Obviously,
our objective here is to get the regulation changed, to get the profile
changed on the federal side. This is not about Ms. Murphy.
"This
is about a process and the fact that when you appoint a
lieutenant-governor for New Brunswick that there's no language profile."
Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau and Gov. Gen. Julie Payette are listed as the
respondents in the application, but they have not filed responses with
the court.
The application says Trudeau didn't respect his
obligations under the linguistic responsibilities section
of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms when he recommended
Murphy as the lieutenant-governor and later appointed her.
Murphy was sworn in as lieutenant-governor on Sept. 8. (Shane Fowler/CBC)
Murphy was sworn in Sept. 8. A few days
later, her office confirmed she wasn't ready to do any French
interviews but added that she was learning French.
In a news
release, Murphy's office said she is aware of the Acadian organization's
decision to take action, and she acknowledges the importance of
communicating in both official languages.
"I remain committed to
improving my French-language skills over the course of my mandate so
that I can serve both the French and English communities well," Murphy
said in the release.
The application also cited the Official Languages Act of Canada, which obliges the New Brunswick government to provide services in both English and French.
"New Brunswick has a unique linguistic regime," Chiasson said.
"We think it's time the federal government take into consideration the unique regime that exists in New Brunswick and that the federal government … takes proper steps and actions to ensure a linguistic element is an intrinsic part that encompasses the profile of which they base a nomination."

Methinks Ali Chiasson, the executive director of the New Brunswick Acadian Society should ask Brenda Murphy if she is ever going to answer the letter and documents I delivered in hand to his cousin Herménégilde Chiasson's minions in 2004 when Kevin Vickers of the RCMP was his aide de campe while I was illegally barred from the parliamentary property during the time I was running in the election of the 38th Parliament N'esy Pas?

Dear Mr. Amos,
On behalf of Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson,
I acknowledge receipt of two sets of documents and CD regarding corruption,
one received from you directly, and the other forwarded to us by the Office of
the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick.
I regret to inform you that the Governor General cannot intervene in
matters that are the responsibility of elected officials and courts of Justice of
Canada. You already contacted the various provincial authorities regarding
your concerns, and these were the appropriate steps to take.
Yours sincerely.
Renee Blanchet
Office of the Secretary
to the Governor General”
"The application also cited the Official Languages Act of Canada, which obliges the New Brunswick government to provide services in both English and French."
Methinks Ali Chiasson should send the lawyers acting on behalf of the New Brunswick Acadian Society to Federal Court in Fat Fred City and pull my files in order to verify that the illegal barring document is in one language only N'esy Pas?
Methinks the SANB made a major Faux Pas I have no doubt whatsoever that many Anglos and Acadians will be discussing this ridiculous lawsuit over the Yuletide season and that not many will be impressed by the actions of the lawyers who dreamed it up N'esy Pas?

Before the cliche racists here have the last say, let us remember that the hopes of the Anglo radical minority are the same as the Franco radical minority...Both are right wing parties of complainers, but one side speaks two languages will the other speaks in circa 1987 anti-McKenna rhetoric, hoping the re-birth of CoR via the PANB will fly in like a saviour...May you dance together in your own stubborn foolishness...And the L-G of a bilingual province should speak both of our unforked tongues, not one..

Reply to @JJ Carrier: The " Anglos " are comprised of people of all cultures and languages. German, Italian, Arabic, Hebrew, Korean, Chinese, Indigenous, Indian, Russian, Scottish, Irish, Welsh and on and on yet there is only a small vocal group of one minority who demands the lion's share of everything. Self-serving bullies who think of no one other than themselves.. The cost to Canadians is massive and as Canada's poorest province we cannot afford to pander to one group only. We are all Canadians and as such no minority deserves any more or any less than another. Time for the pandering to come to a full stop.
Mack Leigh
Poorest province in Canada is nothing...nothing to be proud of.. Forced Officially Bilingual is the driving force behind our trip to the bottom of the pile . Millions yet even billions wasted all in an effort to appease a bigoted, selfish, self-serving group of Elites who have not one ounce of interest in what it is costing the people of this province and country... Time to shut it down.

This bilingual thing is really starting to p ss me off. It's not the everyday association with fellow citizens whether they be Anglophone or Francophone everything is fine at that level. It's just the non-stop bickering and waste of energy and pettiness that a small number of New Brunswickers and various institutions spend their time on.

An earlier version of this story stated the Official Languages Act of Canada obliges the New Brunswick government to provide services in both English and French. In fact, the act applies to the federal government and not the provincial government.

New Brunswick's Lieutenant Governor should be bilingual. That should have been considered before making the appointment. With Ms. Murphy's appointment already made, she will fill out her mandated time in this position. This however, should be the last time a unilingual person is put in this ceremonial office.

The position of Lieutenant Governor is already alternated between an Acadian and an anglophone New Brunswicker. If the requirement is made that all holders of the office be fluently bilingual, would this rotation between Acadian and anglophone holders of the office be dispensed with? I would think so. After all, under the new regime, 90% of Acadians would be eligible to serve as Lieutenant Governor, and only about 15% of anglophones. I'm sure we would end up with Acadian LG's 90% of the time.

I am actually torn between agreeing with the premise that the position of Lt. Governor should be, IN FUTURE, enacted in legislation as a bilingual position and whether or not such legislation should be applied retroactively. I'm leaning, though, to agreeing that the position should be bilingual in future but that, shown the willingness of Her Excellency Lt. Gov. Brenda Murphy to learn to speak French, she should be allowed to do so. Retroactively applying such legislation seems to me to be rather arbitrary, not to mention totally unnecessary...translation services and her willingness to learn should be taken into account. If the shoe was on the other foot I hope that same consideration would be...well, considered!
David Raymond Amos
She was hired under conditions the position didn’t require bilingual. She’d have in doozy of a wrongful dismal case if it was made retroactive.
