What prime minister was responsible for making Canada a bilingual country?

There is no law requiring the prime minister to speak French. For that matter, there is no law requiring the prime minister to speak English either. But for more than a generation, the prime minister from time to time has been able to speak both official languages. The last prime minister to be unilingual English speaking was John George Diefenbaker (1957-1963). (That's Dief, as in chief, followed by en, and then baker.) Diefenbaker used to joke that when he spoke French, every English speaking Canadian knew exactly what he was saying. His pronunciation of the French that was written for him was absolutely dreadful. As a practical political reality, it is now unlikely that anyone would become prime minister who was not bilingual.
