Mcmebr of the Ontario Weekly Newspaper Assoc The Royal Commission on Biiingualism and Bieultur- alism continues its hearings and s presently in session in Toronto. It continues to listen to briefs which surely are, by now, becoming repetitious for the members of the Commission. Recently the Commission filed a preliminary report stating that Canada was in great danger of splitting up unless English speaking Canada recognized the demands of French speaking Canada. The Commission will accom- plirli vemy littie, judging from their preliminamy report, other than being a bill of expense. It lias been designed only to ascertain the pulse of the nation which surely could have been obtained through elected members of Parliament. We can see no advantage whatsoever of this nation becomong bilingual. Red tape is in itself enough to hamper government works Jet alone adding another stumbling lock in bilingualism. Englisli is the business language pactically the world over and to clutter up our government and business dealings with two languages is ridiculous. ne Minister Pearson and his Libemal government Ii i Lutiù going overboard in their efforts to establish wo official languages in Canada. Their efforts, we would imagine, are more political in nature than having sound reason, The two language system would hape been alright 100 years ago when communications were limited in scope. To-day the communication systemh is instantaneous and the proposai Pearson and lis Liberals are fostering is surely outdated. Biculturalîsmi or multiculturalism in Canada should prove no problem. The greater number of avenues of cul- ture will ensure a more interesting and richer Canada. The Province of Quebec must bc given every oppor- tunity to prosper and is entitled. to control its desiny as f ar as legislation will alow it to. Quebec, ho'wever, cannot. turn aside fmom the English language and expecet to prosper especially in a dcniinately Englisrh speaking continent- Neither will Quebec gain anything bY forcing upon 'the rest of Canada the French language. Such a move will only further the cosr-of governing and add to, it another burden in a free wheeling world enterprîse. If we are to Iearn two languages a whole new concept will have to be established in our schools te establish bi- lingualism in the Engliali speaking ameas. Chidren will have to start Frendh in grades 2 or 3 and of course adequate teaching will have to carry on in both levels of schooling- The teaching of French as undertaken today would neyer acc 1omplish any success in establishing bilingualism. Recent s tafistice shows that the percentage of French speaking people now being bilingual is mudli geaer than is the percentage of English speaking Canadians. The onus will cetainly rest with English speaking Canada and could, if certain suggestions are caried out, create yet another division in the elementary school system.
