Excerpt from Parliamentary Debates on the Subject of the Confederation of the British North American Provinces, 3rd Session, 8th Provincial Parliament of CanadaHaving read the motion, the hon. Gentleman commenced to speak in French, when Hon. Mr. Ross requested he should address the House in English.Hon. Mr. Letellier thought, as there were two members of the government in the House, one who spoke best in French (sir E. P. Tache), and one who did the same in Eng lish, it would be better for the Hon. Premier to speak in French, and then his colleague could do the same in English, but Hon. Sir E. P. Taouz concluded that as there were English members who did not understand French at all, while the French members all understood English, it would be best for him to speak in the latter language, and proceed ed to do so.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
