Unilingual causes a stir

The appointment of a unilingual Anglophone to the role of Canada’s Auditor General has been condemned by the Quebec National Assembly. Every MNA in the house supported the motion on Wednesday.

Michael Ferguson was named to replace federal Auditor General Sheila Fraser. The former Auditor General of New Brunswick was appointed due to Fraser’s retirement.

ADQ MNA Francois Bonnardel deposed the motion which was supported by all other parties.

Ferguson’s nomination must be approved in a parliamentary chamber resolution and by the senate.
