Absolutely.
However, though I almost never, ever have a nice word to say about Harper, I will say this - his french is very good which is amazing since he only seriously started learning when he became party leader. When listening to the french debate Layton and May sounded quite poor and using such simple language that they seemed less intelligent than Dion or Duceppe (I know I'm walking into one there... just leave it alone). Harper on the other hand was able to keep pace. I have noticed this in past debates as well.... Anglophones sound just as disjointed in French as Dion does in English. Unless they are truely bilingual, which I would say Harper is now.
