Passed 3,000 signatures!

This petition was featured in yesterday's Daily Gleaner, and we hit the 3000 mark last night! Awesome! Outgoing language commissioner Michel Carrier had these things to say: "'They've improved but they're not there yet." In other words, he doesn't care what this hiring mandate is doing, he's still pushing it. "Sometimes policies affect someone and that person will start saying, 'It's discrimina­tory; it's not just.' That's the way it works. You have to qualify for certain positions,' " The thing to remember is that MOST of these jobs do not actually require the use of both languages in their daily performance, so his point is invalid. "...some people are saying it's awful. Well, take a step back and look at it objectively." That's what we've done. And it's pretty clear this is a discriminatory hiring practice. Objectively means without bias, and that's what we want. The best person should get the job regardless of their language!!! Keep at it...we deserve better!
