So it seems that "possible leadership candidate" and "staunch libertarian" Maxime Bernier has caused something of a stir because of comments he made about Quebec's language laws being unnecessary. As the CBC/Canadian Press story on the topic doesn't include details on where exactly the comments were made I am somewhat inclined to think that they may be talking about the talk I saw Bernier give during which he made such comments at the end of the talk or on a Halifax radio show.
Of course what is funny about is that in the context of the talk these comments didn't seem particularly strange or outlandish, and they certainly didn't raise ripples of concern among members of the somewhat small audience. It should also be noted that at least in the context of the talk Bernier did express support for the French language and his belief that it would continue to exist even without the laws in question.
Score
