Bilingual Triple E senate
How about a prerequisite for a Equal senate be that any senators be bilingual? This would appease Quebec who is sure to be a strong opposer to the triple E idea.
By making it a requirement that all senators be bilingual this would actually be better for Quebec than what they have right now as well as for bilingualism in Canada on the whole.
There could even be a clause where by if a senator is elected he has one year to take french training in order to sit in the senate.
Since we are supposed to be a bilingual country and most provinces have some comunities of french this shouldn't be to hard to achieve. And if it is the claus would allow for any anglophones or Fracophones to take the required language training.
