Thank you, once again, for signing and sharing!
We can be sure the current government is hoping this issue will fade away as they continue to ignore it. It is our duty, as equal citizens of this province, to ensure that they cannot ignore us. Continue to promote this issue. Send e-mails to your MLA. Write letters to the editor. Do not let anything stop you.
Remember: true equality is supposed to unite, not divide. NB's approach to implementing the OLA has led to hidden costs, constant division, bitterness on both sides, and self-imposed segregation in the name of rights.
An 'essential skill' is just that...essential to performing the regular duties of the job. A bilingualism requirement for a job that doesn't need both languages to perform the job is an artificial requirement & discriminates against the unilingual people who can do the job just as well as bilingual people.
Next election, cast your vote carefully, considering this very important issue. NB deserves better!
