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."

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.

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 .

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!
