Acadian group launches legal challenge over unilingual lieutenant-governor

Lt.-Gov. Brenda Murphy says she's determined to improve her French-language skills

 

Cassidy Chisholm· 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 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.
According to the New Brunswick Acadian Society, the charter requires that the person appointed lieutenant-governor speak and understand both official languages to grant royal assent to both versions of laws.

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."

I thought NB was the only officially bilingual province of the country. I guess I am wrong.

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?

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?

Gov't lawyers should be able to drag this out for oh say 5 or 6 years and bankrupt this society in the deal.

Actions like this only turns some members of the majority against this group that pretends to act on behalf of the largest minority in the province.

Most likely, there is someone in the LG office who is fluent in "Acadian French". This is a waste of time and resources!

When will government obtain the gonads to shut these self-serving elite down ?? All about their " rights " over and above those of everyone else... Time for the failed social experiment called forced frenchification to be shut down... We, as a province and as a country cannot afford the continued pandering to one minority.

I was under the impression she was...So, a unilingual premier who used to be the youth star of CoR who panders to a anti-French party in the PANB to stay in government approved an English L-G who has never learned French in four decades of having a chance? You can't make this up...

Every time these Acadian activists launch a legal challenge, the government should withdraw a percent of their funding.
Ingratitude for all that has been done to accommodate them should come with a price,

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.

Eliminate this useless position; not needed or wanted.

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.

hopefully this lawsuit will be thrown out with cost.
however it's time to get rid of these positions--governor general & Lt.-Gov waste of tax payer money
