Western Canada opposes bilingualism in federal policy
Prime Minister Trudeau faces a bilingual civil service push seen as costly by many Western and Midwestern Canadians. Diefenbaker’s 16 dissenters loom in Ottawa while opposition to bilingual promotions grows. Critics argue practical service benefits are limited outside Quebec and Acadia, and Quebec support is pivotal for Trudeau or potential PC gain.

Rep by rep Bill Faces Renewal Debate In Commons
Government House Leader Allan MacEachen warned that strict representation by population could hurt rural provinces. The bill would suspend redistribution for 18 months while 10 electoral boundaries commissions finish work based on the 1971 census. Ontario and British Columbia gain three seats, while Saskatchewan Manitoba Quebec and Nova Scotia lose representation. Some MPs fear boundary changes could cost them seats in the next election. Old boundaries would apply if an election occurs. Conservatives proposed exemptions for B C and Ontario, sparking committee debate and concerns over amending major acts.
