Our message was specific to Canada's English linguistic minority communities. Should the information or the celebrations be available in the French language in Alberta? Absolutely. This is the 150th anniversary of Confederation. Confederation is the story. A significant part of that story is the compromise and the turmoil around Upper and Lower Canada and the Maritimes, and the two languages getting together, and the accommodations that were made in law in the BNA Act to allow our country to begin. Not telling that story in both of our official languages across Canada is incomprehensible.
