Macpherson said the hunt for unilingual anglophones is now going on at all levels.

"I think it's a cover for plain old fashioned anglo bashing," said Macpherson.

Lapierre said the hype and fervour was misplaced.

"I'm starting to sense that even with the Banque Nationale.. this guy [John B. Cieslak] was in charge of IT, and frankly I couldn't care less."
