"Bilingualism in the House of Commons has two main aspects, each of which has its distinctive history. On the one hand there is the legal and constitutional framework, within which the two languages are given a status apart from all other languages. On the other hand is the vast body of customs and practices that have grown up around the constitutional framework, determining the day-to-day use of the two languages on the floor of the House, in committees, and in all the other relationships that must develop if a legislative assembly is to be viable"--Chapter I, The Historical Basis of Bilingualism in the House of Commons.
