Trudeau admits he was ‘cheeky’ when he made comments on bilingualism
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admits he may have been a little “cheeky” when he made a comment last week on bilingualism.
When questioned by a Radio-Canada journalist if he supported the idea of Ottawa being designated a bilingual city, Trudeau asked whether the western Quebec town of Gatineau was ready to do the same.
“Is the city of Gatineau open to becoming officially bilingual?” Trudeau responded, with a little smile.
Trudeau said Monday he was fully aware the comment would get him in trouble.
