Carpay Needs To Work On His First Language Skills: False Premises = False Conclusion, Inevitably

Carpay should work on his first language skills before raving incoherently about bilingualism. As pointed out by Yalden already, C-232 does NOT require fluency in both Official Languages, only that "In addition, any person referred to in subsection (1) may be appointed a judge who understands French and English without the assistance of an interpreter.". As Yalden remarked, that "is a quite different, and less demanding, criterion." Drastically less demanding. And Carpay further betrays his poor first language skills when he confuses interpreters and translators. I hope Carpay's linguistic & cognitive deficiencies are not indicative of all unilingual lawyers - all the more reason to expect SCC judges to have the most minimal of bilingual abilities, the basic ability to understand what someone is saying in both official languages.
