The "Official Languages Act" of New Brunswick is "up for review" in 2012, meaning articles can be added or deleted, making them "law" in the province.
There is a policy in place now, in the provincial civil service, which is titled the "Language of Work" policy.
It states that the employee has the right to work in the "official language" of their choice.
The SANB (Acadian Society) is working with the Commissioner of Official Languages of New Brunswick, Michel Carrier and affiliates to have this "policy" implemented into the "Act."
The implications of this are as follows: no unilingual English New Brunswicker in the future will be hired into the provincial government civil service, as they will not be able to communicate with some of the perfectly bilingual francophones who simply refuse to talk English to their fellow employees!
This ludicrous discriminatory policy must be thrown out the door and not be allowed to be implemented into the Act.

The letter is signed Daryl Doucette, of Moncton, and I underlined part of the letter myself. Let’s take that underlined portion and change it around a bit:

Anyone want to bet that Doucette would see absolutely no problem with this?
