Bilingualism In Commons By JOHN E. BIRD Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)--The Canadian House of Commons has taken an important step toward increased bilingualism. A simultaneous Interpretation system, used for the first time last session, has resulted in a big and fre- quency of French speeches by both English- and French-speak- ing members. ) Laet session French was pared with 264 in the 1957-58 ses- sion, more than a three-fold in- creaee. The proportion of French spoken in the 1959 session amounted to 10 per cent of the wordage recorded in y verbatim report of Commons de- bates. This compares with three per cent or less before instalia- on of the simultaneous interpre. tation sysiem. BOTH OFFICIAL Under the terms of Confedera- tion, both English and French are recognized as offielal languages for parliamentary debates. But By LORNE BRUCE Press Canadian Staff Writer EDMONTON (CP)--Alberta is waging a relentless battle tain its reputation as only populated rat-free area North America. Before installation of the in- terpretation system, French speechios usually were restricted |to the throne speech and budget |debatzs or to private bills spon- sored by French-speaking mem- |bers. Speeches were intended {more for consumption of voters {back home than for the benefit! 'of other members. |[NUTAZLE CHANGE | But this petterr has changed. During the last session most French-sp~aking members spoke in their own tongue on all main debates and in di ion of de- partmental spending estimates. The most noticeable change Iwas during the of the dav's sitting when members direct questions to ministers. In past sess.ns, most French-| the provincial government's pest control department which con- ducts a systematic campaign to wipe out rats.
