"1967: Commission on bilingualism releases final report"

French and English should be the two languages of government from airports to federal courts, recommends the commission studying bilingualism. The inquiry known as the B&B Commission releases its final report today -- four years after it began. It's been so long that in this CBC Television clip, reporter Ron Collister can't remember what B&B stands for. Commission members say that protecting French culture at the federal level is not enough. They found that 95 per cent of francophones live in three provinces: Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick. For this reason, they're generally in favour of regional protection and suggest that the three provinces should declare themselves bilingual.
