Mona Fortier -- vote for Bill C-218

I just emailed and called my MP Mona Fortier's office on the hill to ask her to vote for Bill-C-218, a bill to stop Medical homicide (MAID) this week. 

Her voice mail announcement was only in French. Hmmm...I thought that the government of Canada was officially bilingual? And she's an MP. Not a good example of official bilingualism.

Official Languages Act: Passed in 1969 under Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, this federal law requires federal departments, agencies, and Crown corporations to offer services in both English and French.
