The language skills of Mary Simon are once again coming under scrutiny. Some in the French-language media in Quebec are expressing shock and outrage that Simon, who speaks English and Inuktitut, has so far failed to learn French more than three years after becoming Governor General. This most recent round of criticism comes two years after a number of Quebec nationalists, claiming that Simon’s appointment violated laws mandating bilingualism, filed a lawsuit against the federal government demanding Simon be removed from her position.
