Interesting discussion. In Canada's capital, the countries political and bureacratic centre of Canada, to obtain governmental employment if one isn't bilingual (french and english) is a distinct disadvantage.
Imagine having to learn another language to secure that type of employment. And those who want jobs as such and don't speak english, they have to learn french too.
