But most of us back then who did vote for this had no intention of making the country a multilanguage speaking country. as the gentleman has spoken about regarding Canada and the problems they are having today because they took a similar act. We did it because we wanted to bring forth the act. We had many emigrants coming into the country. being forced out of their countries. their native lands. for many reasons. We wanted to make it easier for those people to make the jump. make the transition from their country to speaking in the English language. So that was the intent when we passed the Bilingual Education Act of 1968.
