2,500 signatures!!

Thanks to all of you, we have passed the 2500 mark in 15 days! I am absolutely thrilled with the response to this petition, and with the willingness you have all shown to share the link! In our government, we elect MLA's to represent us in our Legislature. Yet, the moment they are elected, they can no longer represent us and instead must 'toe the party line'. If an MLA speaks out against a party line, they can literally be kicked out of caucus. One MLA is sitting as an independent because he was kicked out of the Conservative Party for questioning duality. How's that for freedom of speech? The unfair and discriminatory hiring policies, which are not actually a requirement of the Languages Act, must end. French and English are supposed to be equal, but the moment a language requirement is put in place is the moment they are no longer equal. Equal means it shouldn't matter; the best person gets the job, whether French, English or bilingual. NB needs true equality!
