I agree.

The "now" from my previous post could maybe replaced with "more than ever".

Another way to put it (to use NS's phrasing): the best fluently bilingual leader the NDP will choose will be the best leader it can choose.

Bilingualism is now a necessity.

It was in 2003, too. Why do you think Jack beat Blaikie on the first ballot? When critics asked how a Toronto guy could ever become Prime Minister, Jack kept answering "I'm not from Toronto, I'm from Montreal." He knew French; if his fluency needed polishing, that was obviously going to be easy for him.
